Peter,
Windows and Macs just render fonts differently:

Personally, I prefer the way Macs do it, but that it is a personal
preference and I think that it is just due to familiarity. The way
that I get around it is to increase my font-weight slightly some of my
sites for IE. I usually set the font-weight to 500 or 600 depending on
the application.

Hi all,
this is my first post on this list and i hope you can read my broken

I have strange Problem on Firefox (MAC) on some sites i programm.
The complete Typo is looking extremly bold or bolder than on my pc.
The effect is stronger when you have a darker background and a
brighter
type.
The only fix i found for this stupid mac problem is to set the
opacity to
99% but i don´t know why the browser behaves like that?
When use this opacity fix the font looks clearer, like on my pc.
I posted an example on this site
http://www.pixel-gallery.com/dev/joymedia/dummy/unternehmen_profil.htm
So when you use Firebug. You can change the typo.css #contentWrapper
opacity
from 1 to .99,
and you can see the effect that the font is looking extrem clear.
Maybe some of you can explain me why this strange thing happens, or
what
kind of rendering engine is going on?
Thanks for help.
Peter
