It turns out that my problem appears unrelated, however. If you can view this page on an iPad in landscape and portrait mode, you'll see the phenomenon:

<http://vze26m98.net/css-discuss/test-ipad.html>

The black-on-white text appears to preserve its thickness, while the white-on-black type appears "thicker" in landscape than portrait.

I assume this is some phenomenon of the way that the iPad display hardware works. Or it could be (LCD) displays in general, as I now realize that the iPhone simulator doesn't rotate the display, it rotates a frame around a simulated screen. Doh! ;-)

Odd also that I have a mockup on an iPhone 3G/iOS4 that doesn't seem to have this problem.

If anyone had further comments about this, I'd be most appreciative.

Best wishes,

Charles

Charles:

I have confirmed your observation -- the text does indeed becomes thicker. I suspect it is a problem with iPad and not something that can be corrected via css.

I have one suggestion, however, if you want iPad owners to review a page, how about giving us something easier to type? The url "vze26m98.net/css-discuss/test-ipad.html" is a lot to type.

I prefer having a shorter URL -- if you want to see the shortest URL possible for Mac's and iPads, contact me off list.

Cheers,

tedd
