Yes, I also find the font rendering on IE9 to be so awful that I uninstalled and refuse to use it.
I am one of those people who can't live with ClearType, and so have it disabled on my computer, but IE9 is just totally recalcitrant in this aspect, and won't let you switch off its new font rendering "feature" ...apparently MS thinks I'm just holding it wrong.
I am sticking IE8 for those few times I actually need IE, but have now switched to Firefox as my daily browser, rather than waste any more time with IE9.
