Sorry to be offtopic but I tried 2 different browsers and this site is unreadable even when I increase the text size.

  Hmm, what browsers/OS are you using? It's using Typekit @font-face for good looking text, Perhaps that's the problem?

    I'm using Chrome on WinXP. Maybe Vista or 7 is required? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/poqp7.png http://i.imgur.com/poqp7.png

      Could be AdThwart.
      • Devilboy 17y ago
        I tried disabling AdThwart but it didn't help. It also looks the same in my IE and I don't have any plugins for that browser. I guess it's the lack of fonts in XP.

          It's not the lack of fonts, as your browser displays the custom font used by that site... just fails to do it correctly. You could try going through readability: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

      Maybe try turning on ClearType?

        We have a winner! That looks great! I feel guilty for derailing this thread now... :(

  If you're on Windows, sorry. Both Firefox and IE have terrible font rendering on that OS which basically munges the font. Try Safari (I've heard that's better). It would be nice if Typekit did fallback rendering for Windows only which basically just used Times New Roman and Helvetica. I, however, don't want to implement this because I suspect you are one of the first people to visit the site on Windows.

    > I suspect you are one of the first people to visit the site on Windows Do you have some stats to go with that?
    • chrislloyd 17y ago
      Ha! Yes: http://twitpic.com/1asem0 http://twitpic.com/1asem0 I've had the luxury of writing in splendid isolation :D The one IE user was me checking it out. About 35 of the Safari visitors were me too!

        Uh, all of those browsers could be on Windows....
  • dhotson 17y ago
    Oh damn.. so anything using Typekit basically looks awful on Windows? What a shame.. Also, I reckon your site looks fantastic. Just sayin' :-)

    WinXP and firefox3. The font is Times New Roman and the site is readable (had to increase font size).
    • sid0 17y ago
      Firefox 3 doesn't support font-face.

  That's a shame. It looks beautiful under Chrome on Windows.

    It's readable in Chrome under Ubuntu/Xmonad.
