Is there any CSS property to make font smooth in IE?

Do you mean anti-aliasing? What version of IE? I dont know of any scripts, but IE 7 and 8 have greatly improved the appearance of text.

I do not believe there is a css property for font smoothing, that is controlled by the web browser.

I think you actually can in css 3...

font-smooth: always;

Unfortunately, and rather ironically, css 3 won't be supported by IE until version 9 comes out.

Problem is CSS 3 will not be fully supported for many years, so while it may work in IE9 it will not be a consistent solution. (which is unfortunate)

Nope. If you take a look at the page in IE it is styled so that those browsers that cannot support the css3 enhancements still look ok, buit those that can Safari and Chrome (Firefox partially), they look even better. Its called progressive enhancement.

For instance look at this page in the different browsers:
