OK well I work on a mac. I have two sites that I have been working and all the text looks fine on my mac…But when I viewed the sites on a PC the text looked crappy. It looks much harsher (like its not ant aliased, or at least not anti aliased properly the way mac os renders it. )The confusing thing is not all websites look like that on a PC. Does anyone know what the problem is with this? I have posted to images to demonstrate the issue. And also have the CSS code for my text on page below. Thanks!
BODY {font-family: “Times New Roman”, Times,
“New Century Schoolbook”, serif;}
H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica,
Verdana: sans-serif;
Safari does some nifty anti-aliasing on fonts, causing them to look super-smooth. If you tried the site on a PC using Safari, you’ll notice that the text looks much smoother.
(although, personally I prefer the standard text without all that anti-aliasing on it…)
I understand that I can do things to make it look better for ME but i would like to make the site in the best available way so the users do not need to do anything for it to look good.
