What's wrong with my font display?
- punnned 16y agoDo a search on how to turn on Cleartype for whatever you're using.
- GICodeWarrior 16y agoDo you have the same problem on http://www.ossfyd.com/ http://www.ossfyd.com/ It only happens on Windows and I thought it worked on Windows 7 but I was either mistaken or there is an obscure option that needs to be toggled (something other than cleartype; this is a more serious aliasing problem).
- skant 16y agoYeah something wrong here as well ::: http://i.imgur.com/T3YiT.png http://i.imgur.com/T3YiT.png
- GICodeWarrior 16y agoIt works great in Linux and OSX. I think windows probably hates the font. The other sites you see trouble on were probably designed on Linux or OSX as well.
- skant 16y agoI am using Windows XP and I have Cleartype on: http://i.imgur.com/1pacl.png http://i.imgur.com/1pacl.png I see the same issue with other sites like: http://i.imgur.com/sbzmy.png http://i.imgur.com/sbzmy.png
- skant 16y agoThe other site btw is androlib.com
- jlwjr 16y agoIt looks terrible because it's using the web font for Alte Haas Grotesk.
- GICodeWarrior 16y agoIs there a known problem with this font?
- jlwjr 16y agoI don't know, but i've rarely seen webfonts that work out well on Windows. I haven't tried on any other OS.
- GICodeWarrior 16y agoHow does typekit get them to work? Do they just hand-pick fonts that alias less terribly on windows?
- jlwjr 16y agoTypekit probably uses Embedded TrueType/OpenType fonts, maybe that site used another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography#Web_fonts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography#Web_fonts
- GICodeWarrior 16y agoMy site provides eot, woff, ttf, and svg versions of the font... http://www.ossfyd.com/fonts/stylesheet.css http://www.ossfyd.com/fonts/stylesheet.css
