Google Web Fonts jagged in IE9 #187

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Using the sample code from 
https://developers.google.com/webfonts/docs/getting_started#Quick_Start
2.  Using IE9 on either Vista or Windows 7

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am expecting to see smooth fonts like I do in that example.  Instead I see 
the correct font, but it is jagged and pixelated

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win7 x64 IE9

Please provide any additional information below.
I am just starting out with Google Web Fonts - I am literally copying and 
pasting the code suppied in the simple example.  I cannot get the font to 
display smoothly.  Firefox and IE10 display the font smoothly.

MSIE9 (and the current version of Chrome) use an older rendering system that 
makes some fonts appear jaggy. There are a few CSS techniques you can try -
