Sorry that title is probably rubbish. i am tired :(
Is there anyway to get html to display non anti-aliased (or aliased) fonts on mac's. P.c's seem to display all fonts in that way.
I know you can get courier to display like a pixel font at 10px on a mac. Is there any other ways to acheive this effect.
thanks :)

ahhh.... i thik i may have tried to explain myself wrongly... as usual. sorry :)
what i meant..
Is it possible to make other peoples macs display selected text only in the browser like pixel fonts in flash using just html and css. Only because you can get away with a smaller font which is still readable. (like in flash)
I guess the answer is probably no but thought i would ask.
Thanks for your help so far.

not that i know of... without running some kind of script which opens their system prefs and raises the minimum smoothed font size. IMO, smoothed fonts are more readable at smaller sizes such as verdana at 8pts

i totally disagree
for me everything up to 10px is crap aliased

Geneva 10px will show up as on macs not aliased.
PC's won't have Geneva, but they will use Arial if you include it as the second font.

That 10px genva trick works in
firefox and i.e mac but not safari. I guess safari just won't play ball :)Why is it webdesign stuff almost always works on 2 out of 3 main browsers?
Thanks for all the help folks.
