Anyone have a screenshot on OSX for comparison? I'm on Windows and I think the font looks fine...

    Hey all - sorry about the font problems on Windows. This is just a one page site, and I'm using a font straight from the Google Web Fonts directory. I only have a mac at home, so that was how I tested it. I will certainly be more careful next time, and with a larger site would absolutely test on all browsers and operating systems.

      What causes this issue? I want to know in the future to avoid something like this? Is it because you use custom ttfs or something?

        The issue was caused by a webkit font rendering fix. Make sure to remove all text-stroke and text-shadow declarations for windows - these thin out the font and improve rendering in osx, but ruin it for windows (no surprise)

What browser/OS, exactly? The font is... weird (too light?) on Chrome/Win7: http://i.imgur.com/3WMkT.png http://i.imgur.com/3WMkT.png

      Man... fonts just look so shitty on windows overall. How can you handle this? Perhaps I'll change it to garamond though, it at least looks slightly better. Thanks for the suggestion!

        I'm seriously considering spending 2x my monthly salary on a Mac, just because us Windows users are now second-class citizens on the internet.

        Hahaha I'm sorry! If you do, it will be worth it, I promise. I'm certainly far from rich, and my mac laptop is dying and more than 4 years old, but I love it to death and continuously open it up, fix it, and replace parts whenever they go bad - it's a real trooper. Also, you will be blown away by the software quality on macs... when I was growing up, all the 'good' software was for windows, but now the situation has completely reversed.
