Don't you see the comparison of the two page views above, one from Windows IE and the other from Mac Safari? Hmmm... loads on my Mac... let's try this:


Windows Internet Explorer default font rendering


Apple Mac Safari default font rendering

Here is a screen shot of that page from Neopets as seen in IE7, default fonts, Clear Type turned on:

To my eyes, it's far superior to Apple's version.

You already had the images cached, thus they loaded in your post preview.

Rule #3 when posting images to FR: use a third-party image host. Just my experience, anyway.

“default font rendering”

Isn’t this a bit disingenuous? You might fault Microsoft for leaving “ClearType” off by default, but to fail to mention it at all in a comparison like this would be very dishonest.

With ClearType ON, XP renders fonts beautifully...like a printed page.
