So this website is going to lose its raison d'être? Also his soft-grey on white background is hard to read. Edit: It's just in my browser of choice that it appears as grey on white. It looks much better on Chrome.

Do you happen to have myopia or astigmatism?

  I have myopia, but I wear glasses when using a computer or a smartphone.

What is your browser of choice and why is it displaying websites incorrectly?
- baud147258 8y ago
  IE. I don't think I need to explain why some website might not display correctly with it, even if most website are displaying correctly. But I haven't look why this one in particular is not working.

    I'm no expert, but I guess it might be a font that renders differently on IE vs Chrome / other browsers - or it's a font not supported and what you're seeing is a less legible fallback.

      Well it's not a font problem, the issue is that the background in IE is white, whereas it's dark grey on chrome. It's readable, but not very legible.

        I'm sorry about this! I should've checked on IE. Just have and Edge shows right background colour but chunky font which is difficult to read. And IE 11 shows white background. We used Typora to write this up and used its bundled Night theme. Assumed it had been tested in IE, but appears not. I'll make sure we fix this soon. Edit: It's also possible that we tweaked the CSS it generated, which might have caused this, so I'd rather not blame it on their theme before I test it.

        Considering the IE marketshare, I don't think it's much of a problem to not test on IE (or even Edge). And I'm less bothered by a browser compatibility issue than illegible design. Also on Edge I see the same white background as on IE, but I'm on Windows 10 1703, if it's a version dépendent bug.

        It appears this was related to CSS variable support. Typora's themes use CSS3 variables which aren't supported in IE and weren't supported in Edge until more recently. I tried on Edge 42 (EdgeHTML 17) when I said the background colour displayed correctly. Perhaps you're using an older version of Edge (the version is displayed at the bottom of the settings panel). In any case, I've added CSS to set the background colour without using CSS variables. It now shows correctly for me in IE 11 too. Thanks for letting us know.
