I've read at length about issues with IE disabling ClearType when using filters, and I'm hoping that my conclusions are wrong. It seems that it is impossible to turn ClearType back on after applying a filter (e.g. Shadow or Alpha). Is that so?

With every other browser supporting text-shadow now I'd really like to be able to use it, falling back on IE's Shadow or DropShadow filter when necessary. But applying any filter to text makes it look terrible.

Is there a way to enable both ClearType and filters in Internet Explorer?
