I don't know whether it's a problem with my browser or the website, but the font rendering is really bad for this site.

  Ubuntu Linux, I see the same on Chrome and Firefox. The heights are wonky. Specifically for d, r, and u, and w. Seems to work fine on other platforms.

    The site is using a webfont "protection" technique that was mentioned in a comment here a couple months ago, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20708371 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20708371. It's a terrible idea.

      Ah, this explains the other times I've seen this.

      That "DRM" doesn't seem any more secure than ROT13... can we trace this terrible idea back to its source? I can't believe more than one person would come up with it by themselves.

      Huh. I helped implement something similar on the site I work on, but for entirely user focused needs, without realising that it would be potentially problematic in certain renderers. Will have to check today, thanks for the heads up.
