Dear Matt,

Could you please use any font other than Source Sans Pro[1]? It looks terrible on at least one major desktop operating system.[2]

Looks pretty nice on my box. Maybe you need to configure your font settings?

That's because he use Chrome on Windows, who doesn't render webfont well due to the usage of GDI instead of DirectWrite in the Windows version: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692

You're right. It even looks better on IE8. http://i.imgur.com/xrhfJGp.png

Here's a screenshot of nightly with a similar issue. http://i.imgur.com/HP02e5b.png

Even this, with the font stripped out looks better http://i.imgur.com/6KB2iuG.png

Are you on XP? (I ask because it looks like you don't have any anti-aliasing on).

If you adjust your cleartype settings (or turn it on in XP) it will look a bit more normal.

On Windows 7 but yes, you were right. I got a new machine and the cleartype was not turned on yet. It looks much better now. http://i.imgur.com/73Ic6w0.png I appreciate your help.

I'm using Chrome on Windows and it looks fine. Has to be some other setting he messed up.

Looks like you need to turn on ClearType.

I did. That was my problem. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5779561
