I've a question for anyone like me who thinks they're seeing spots before their eyes...
If you load up a page on Chrome, do some of the fonts look pretty 'jagged'?
Firefox seems to have better less 'fuzzy' rendering of fonts than Chrome, and looking further at MSFT Internet Explorer, this seems to fall in between the other two in quality.
I've always thought that unlike graphics (where PNG is superior to JPG where you get more artifacts on scaling images) a text font is going to be 'pure' and not distorted.
Am I imagining things - or is there a subtle difference between how these browsers work when displaying text?
(and by all means take the piss - I probably deserve it for asking a question like this, but if there are any technical mavens out there I'd love to know if I'm going nuts or there is really something going on here, LOL)
