On OS X Safari, the articles are in Georgia 13, but the subpixel rendering is disabled. The result is ghastly. The type appears randomly weighted and poorly kerned.
If you copy a paragraph and paste it into TextEdit you can see the same text still in Georgia 13 without broken rendering.
You can use the assistive zoom to see clearly what is going on. (Hold control and "two finger up" on the trackpad, or scroll wheel up if you are that sort.) The color fringe at the edges of the zoomed letters is the subpixel rendering.
- mlgrinshpun 16y agoCan you explain why the aa gets disabled in Safari but not Chrome? Seems strange considering they're both running Webkit.
- jws 16y agoI wish I could. I looked with the inspector for -webkit-* trickery in the CSS and didn't see any on the element. Antialiasing is still on. The pixels go through shades of gray at the edges, it is just the subpixel that is off.
