Microsoft's implementation of font smoothing is really terrible. The way they use subpixels leads to a weird red/green halo on some letters.
Interestingly, font smoothing in OSX doesn't suffer from this problem.
- briansmith 18y agoApple's implementation of font smoothing is really terrible. The way they emulate print rendering on-screen makes every letter blurry and unnecessarily bold. Interestingly, font smoothing in Windows doesn't suffer from this problem.
- chaosmachine 18y agoThat's true, but I find it much less of a problem than the colored halos.
