Font Smoothing #38

Closed dadastudio closed 10 years ago

dadastudio commented 10 years ago

Hi,

There could an option to turn the css font smoothing on (font-smoothing: antialiased)

Don't You think?

Thanks.

BTW the default webkit font smoothing is not set to disabled but to subpixel antialiasing which is the best technique for LCD screens.

Hi, and thanks for the suggestion. Font-smoothing was part of the CSS working draft specs in 2002, but was deprecated in the 2009 revision, and is no longer present in the current one at http://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/ Since it's now deprecated, I think it's better to avoid it.
