Windows fonts and Mac fonts aren't the same, even if they have the same
names and are set to the same size. The Windows version is usually a
little smaller but it depends on the font. I have some notes about it here:
<http://www.hyperactivesw.com/resources_fonts.html>
Nicolas was referring to Windows only (XP and Vista), but even then, fonts
on WinXP look pretty crappy compared to later versions of Windows, so this
might be what he's running into. Mostly this happens with "small" fonts (I
don't have a recipe offhand), but certain fonts at certain sizes are
rendered without antialising, which might account for the differing
appearance. I know some folks here have done some visual comparisons but
this was a long time ago -- one would have to check the mail archives.
Thanks, I forgot it was Windows-only. Also, the notes I linked to are 8
years old so probably out of date by now. I don't have recent font
studies of Vista and Win7, so anyone who reads that page should take it
with a grain of salt.
