I hate the look of Computer Modern as well, finding its letters very thin and hard to read on mobile. I can't really convince anyone on aesthetics, but please

  > I hate the look of Computer Modern as well, finding its letters very thin and hard to read on mobile. Doesn't look any good on my screen either, but it's a print font I'd expect it to become pretty at around 210 dpi.

  Oof. I think that's this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5069752/ios-4-2-webfont-ttf-s-bold-font-weight-rendering-bug http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5069752/ios-4-2-webfont-t... I think the problem is that none of the TTFs include bold italic, so the browser generates a 'fake bold' of the italic. This time, MobileSafari is doing it oddly. Apparently a workaround is to fake bold yourself with -webkit-text-stroke (icky) and pretty workarounds would be to avoid bold italic or have a separate .ttf for it.

    Hmm, perhaps. But it also occurs on plain bold text https://www.dropbox.com/s/h2zy36l447mj8j7/Photo%20Dec%2023%2C%205%2031%2005%20PM.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/h2zy36l447mj8j7/Photo%20Dec%2023%2...

      (Might be that the .ttf didn't have CM Roman bold either, then.)
