The thing is, on Win 7+, Chrome still uses the old GDI as the underlying rendering technology, whereas Firefox and IE use DirectWrite and friends. GDI originates in WIN XP (and older, actually) and does have problems with font hinting and the like. Font hosting services such as TypeKit go the extreme lengths to try to get a handle on that. Additionally, things get more complicated as the user's system configuration, graphics cards etc come into play, which might explain Yukka seeing less than optimal rendering for your body font (Aller). I guess you got that one from: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/aller, you should follow the instructions listed in their licensing FAQ and use the FontSquirel tool to generated a WOFF file, and use that as the first choice, rather than use the .ttf file you have listed first now. http://www.daltonmaag.com/about/web_embedding_faq.html As for the Google fonts, I tend to stay away from them, having had rather poor experience with a number of those fonts in the past. If I really want to use one, I download the (desktop)-TTF file, use the FontSquirel tool to generate a Woff file and serve that, instead of linking to the Google servers. As always, test as much as possible, and test again… Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
