No, I'm actually perfectly fine with my Eizo. It's not its fault that it isn't able to show half-pixels. That's by design.

I seriously doubt that this is the case. Last time I stumbled across it was heartbleed.com, and I had to use the F12 console to de-Lato the page, that's why I remember. That was half a year ago, thankfully.
If you spend your day reading about cool parallax scrolling plug-ins for your site, then you might see a lot more Lato than I do, yeah.

And that doesn't even include the Typekit deployments (or locally hosted ones).
- currysausage 12y ago> 5th most popular font at the moment So, Google Web Fonts now is the benchmark for professional screen typography? None of the sites that I visit on a regular basis use Google Web Fonts. The only one using any webfont for body text is The Guardian, which uses an excellent custom font designed by Christian Schwartz and Paul Barnes.
- nacs 12y ago> So, Google Web Fonts now is the benchmark for professional screen typography? It's certainly a better benchmark than "none of the sites that I visit on a regular basis"... And if hard numbers like 64 billion+ views per year don't convince you then I won't bother.
- emergentcypher 12y agoIt's certainly a more objective measure than what you've offered.
- Igglyboo 12y agoYea because "sites you visit on a regular basis" is a wayyy better, and more objective metric. /s
