CSS font-Smoothing: antialiasied makes no difference?

It is possible in the late Fireworks cs6 (and by what I read in photoshop as well) to optimize font rendering. Searching to see was possible to apply this in the web pages vi that there are resources yes to realize the same:

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

However testing I saw no difference! And by what I researched on the sites, even in the examples I saw no difference. What I would like to know is whether this is already implemented in the default browsers? Or if there really is a difference in font rendering when using these CSS properties? Or if not, if actually font-Smoothing is a property that loads more CSS code. If you want to indicate sites that further clarify this issue also.

NOTE: I’m not talking about image rendering, but text source. Thank you

    There you are not optimizing, you are spoiling. Rendering in subpixel is better than Antialias on any LCD monitor. Antialias was for tube monitor. This gambit there was to disguise the bad yield of a certain famous browser, then they gave a fix on the browser, and no longer need this. Firefox had something similar specifically for Mac, but they removed.

    I have no time to elaborate a complete answer, but I found a reasonable reference here (en) that explains the essential: http://usabilitypost.com/2012/11/05/stop-fixing-font-smoothing/

Rendering in subpixel generates a better result in current monitors, formerly used due to the technology of older monitors.

I suggest you take a look at this article which explains well the differences and why not use more antialised.
