I can’t really say much on this. On the few devices that I have available, the fonts don’t show anything horrible. (*hugs apple-branded devices*) I’ve not personally seen anything bad on the few Windows machines I use either, but the spread of OS versions, browsers, and monitors across those doesn’t exactly cover a huge amount of what’s available.
Having been living these problems since the 1980's, it is somewhat surprising that M$ still have not cracked it. I've just had to upgrade code from XP to Windows 8.1, and the window sizes now make the code unusable. This was a regular problem from W3.1 to 98 to W2k to XP and would seem I have to recompile all the code yet again with the font sizes fixed. That is if the development environment would work on 8.1! :(
Recent 'improvements' to Linux have created the same situation on some of that themeing and I am wondering if that is part of my own problem with the PHP site. The default sizes were not readable and so I had to adjust things, and a few sites using 'strange' fonts are simply unreadable, but it's not just the desktop machines that I have a problem with 'skinny' fonts. Both the Android tablets and the Samsung phone were difficult to read. THOSE are now more readable with the Fira Sans font!
