Sure, on Windows, some embedded fonts render better than others. However, the problems are not due to poor quality of the fonts, but with the way Windows and IE handle them. That is probably why the issues don't occur in IE9 and FF beta 4 (according to http://www.thebrightlines.com/2010/03/18/font-rendering-in-ie9/ ). ~Chetan ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
