Does this font render horribly for anyone else? On windows with chrome here.

  It renders horribly for me as well. On that note, how does one properly implement custom fonts into a webpage? Is there a standard, recognized, fool proof way? I've rarely seen it done correctly. On that note again, where do I learn about fonts in the browser in general?

    There's sort of a standard way. But really no. It's one of those situations where if you're going to use custom webfonts and aren't using a service you'll need to go through some trial and error, do some research, and basically decide which platform/browser combo is most important to you. The second most popular post on my website discusses this. Not trying to self-promote and there are problems with my implementation too but maybe this can get you started http://billpatrianakos.me/blog/2012/12/26/fix-webfont-rendering-issues-in-chrome-for-windows/ http://billpatrianakos.me/blog/2012/12/26/fix-webfont-render...

  It's a well-known issue in Chrome for Windows. The latest version of Chrome's rendering library (Skia) now supports DirectWrite and they intend to include it in their Blink engine. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692

  Sorry about that. I haven't even looked at the site on Windows. Soon as I have time I'll see if I can find a font that Chrome won't mangle on Windows.
