No, you can opt out of using native text rendering in safari in windows. You get all the anti-aliasing choices that are offered in system preferences on the Mac.
- I never said you couldn't, so no need to argue. All I was saying is that anti-aliasing is already built-in to Windows.monospaced
- I think we're just getting each other confused. I meant that webfonts aren't aliased, not that windows fonts aren't.kalkal
- *AREN'T ANTIALIASED! God, now I'm confused.kalkal
- Web fonts are neither aliased or anti-aliased. They are infinite resolution.monospaced
- How do you not understand this?monospaced
- OK MY LOWDOWN IS that webfonts aren't antialiased under most browsers when run in windows!!!1!111!!kalkal
- You're basing your statement on your computer's settings alone. Default is anti-aliased. Sorry.monospaced
- Most will see anti-aliased type, regardless of their OS or browser.monospaced
- Even if I turn off my 3rd party anti-aliasing app, Cleartype is still enabled and (as per default) and web fonts are still not antialiased.kalkal
- not antialiased. I'm saying they suck under windows. It's the same on my girlfriends laptop too.kalkal
- That's really really weird. I'm looking at this on a Windows machine and this type is anti-aliased, for sure.monospaced
