Hi there, first of all: thank you for this superb font and for giving it away for free. I am building a website on which i want to use the ostrich-sans and ostrich-sans-black. But there seems to be an issue with the webfont of the black (and bold) version. the font hast some strange pixel errors if it is in small scale. certain font sizes work good though (17px and 13px) and bigger type (20px) has no issues at all.

The problem also only seems to occure on some machines but if it occures, then it is visible in all browsers. maybe it is OSx only? testet it on one windows machine where it looked fine.

I also created new webfonts with the fontsquirrel webfont generator, but the issue is still there.

Do you have any ideas why this happens and could somebody possibly fix that?

I would make a fresh webfont from Font Squirrel's generator (using the latest OTF/TTF file)

thank you for the answer sursly. thats actually something i already tried and mentioned in the first post. The issue stays the same with fontsquirrels generator or whatever generator i use... that's why i thought it might be an issue with the font itself.
