Arial is hardly a great typeface > anyway. Don't confuse design with legibility. Arial is the default sens-serif on Windows, and renders *very* well on Windows. Autonym renders *very* bad on Windows, because the font (and its source FreeSans) were never desigend with Windows in mind, and therefor lack any hinting. > A simple fix for much of this would be to embrace installed fonts, and push > Autonym to the bottom of a font stack that includes the default sans-serif > fonts on the various platforms. I wonder if, indeed, “font-family: > sans-serif, autonym;” would work to make this font the fallback’s fallback. > Ideally, it should only be rendering text that would show up as tofu. Ideally. I doubt it. Windows usually uses the first available font in the font stack and sticks with it, and revert to its default unicode font if it can't find a glyph (usually Lucida Sans Unicode). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
