font rendering problem on windows #22

Closed inklesspen closed 8 years ago

inklesspen commented 9 years ago

A friend of mine reported bad font rendering on Chrome on Windows 7. example

However, if ve zooms in, apparently it's fine.

I inquired, and ve does have Futura installed, and thinks it's a legit version, not something from a free font site.

I don't use windows, so I have no way to reproduce. I'd be happy to accept a PR of course.

I don't use Windows either, and I'm not a designer, but I don't think there's any solution other than picking different fonts, at least for Windows machines.

I'd suggest actually picking a font available from Google's web fonts and using that. I like the look of Lato, personally.

You could start using it by adding this to your html HEAD and stylesheet.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
body {
    font-family: font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
    background-color: #F6CEFC;
}

Chrome on Windows seems to have a general problem with horrific font rendering.

morganastra commented 8 years ago

this issue is stale and there is no indication it extends beyond one anecdotal windows computer. closing.
