What's up with the grainy font on your website? I'm no designer but that's pretty distracting and lowers the perceived value of your application.

- PStamatiou 16y agoAre you in Windows? We're using Typekit to load some fonts and some setups aren't particularly good at rendering fonts. :/
- pyre 16y agoSome fonts are also specially designed to render under specific font rendering engines (and will look crappy elsewhere, or just not as good).
- InfinityX0 16y agoYeah, I'm using Windows 7/Chrome.
- dangrossman 16y agoI agree 100%. When I see horridly aliased fonts like that, I always assume it's some kind of Apple thing that just doesn't look right elsewhere. Is that it? http://imgur.com/69eTV.png http://imgur.com/69eTV.png I use the latest Chrome on Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
- PStamatiou 16y agoI think I might just disable Typekit for Windows. Please hold, researching.
- jack7890 16y agoSomething that's helped us: adding "text-shadow:0 1px 1px #FFF;". Particularly useful with webkit. Adding the drop shadow ratchets up the perceived anti-aliasing, even if the text is on top of a white background.
- bprater 16y agoWelcome to the world of crappy font rendering for the majority of browsers. Even with @font-face in the wild, it's going to be years before we finally see properly rendered fonts for our end-users.
- d0mine 16y agoIt looks OK in Firefox on Ubuntu: http://imgur.com/wYEI8.png http://imgur.com/wYEI8.png (760K)
- photon_off 16y agoThis was exactly what I first thought. To make things worse, I hate Apple, and so I immediately associated your product with all the problems Apple has caused me.
