Judging by the other comments, it's just me, but the fonts look worse now. They aren't smooth at all.
Why?
- sad_hacker 15y agoI noticed the same... they have never been smooth on Firefox (Windows 7 64bit), but now they aren't even smooth in IE... can anyone else confirm that?
- aik 15y agoMost other comments are commenting on the interface, which is definitely great and impressive. As for the fonts, they're not smooth for me either.
- XLcommerce 15y agoCleartype wreaks havoc on webfonts. Turning it off gives you smooth fonts, but jaggy regular text >:| Strangely IE6 (and 7? i think) are OK even with cleartype on. There is a css hack to get font smoothing on windows: h1{ text-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.0001); /* Transparent Shadow make some kind of webkit font smoothing kick in */ }
- habitatforus 15y agoI turned Cleartype off and that helped. The text shadow trick helped as well. I would have thought that using Chrome would mean that Google's fonts would have displayed correctly, but I guess Cleartype overrides that. I miss the day when testing a website meant using just IE and Netscape -- now I have to turn Cleartype on and off ... ugh
- uptown 15y agoThanks for that hack. I'd never seen that one before but font smoothing on Windows has always driven me nuts.
