ClearType is optimized for LCDs, but works just fine on CRTs as well. Depending on the picture tube's dot pitch, it might create a slightly visible "color fringing" effect, but Microsoft also provides a "ClearType Tuner" applet which lets you reduce this effect, and optimize the sub-pixel rendering to the particular display you are using (be it LCD or CRT or anything else) and to your visual preference.Still later came Clear Type, which only works on LCD - type monitors, to smooth the appearance of the edges further using "sub-pixel rendering".
