Yeah, a bit of a kooky title for an email, and a very small issue, but
the latest trunk version seems all "s" seemed to be somewhat smaller.
Is this just a browser thing with Chrome? Any body else seen this? See
attached screen shot.

Hm… we have changed the font pack in trunk not too long ago. Does not happen here on Ubuntu Chrome? What OS are you on?

Win 7 Professional or something like that.

It happens in both Firefox 3.6.17 and Chrome 11.0.696.77.

Hi Bob,

I actually have LiberationSans installed on my Windoze machine which
may explain why this is happening. My CSS says that the font should be
rendered in LiberationSans, not Arial. Changing LiberationSans to
Arial/Helvetica works fine and the "s" appears as normal.

The weird thing is that it displays Arial for just a fraction of a
second, and then seems to change to LiberationSans.

Seems likely a weird combination on my system, but not sure.

Regards,
Jason

Could be your browser is font-substituting something for arial which is not
quite ok. (Arial is a virus distributed by default on windows)

So we could just say use windoze and all will be well :slight_smile: Or install
ms-corefonts which I always do but I know its dodgy legally. Or suggest a
free font in the css, falling back to arial. Or see if you can figure out
what chrome is substituting.

Now I've just read your mail. Weird. Doesn't make sense that the browser
would be messing with a font that is installed in the OS. Can you use
firebug and play with the font setting? Try Helvetica.

Cheers
Bob

Hi Jason, I guess you are missing that we use @font-face now. Are you sure the CSS says LiberationSans and not LiberationSansRegular / LiberationSansBold? The font pack is created by
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ . It shouldn’t really matter whether you have Liberation Sans installed or not. I have no idea why this happens on Windows and not Ubuntu.

Hi Jason, I guess you are missing that we use @font-face now. Are you sure the CSS says LiberationSans and not LiberationSansRegular / LiberationSansBold?

Ah ok. I was doing a quick check on the demo site. I see this is now changed. Good. Looks well here …

Hi Bob,

I actually have LiberationSans installed on my Windoze machine which

The weird thing is that it displays Arial for just a fraction of a

second, and then seems to change to LiberationSans.

I think sans css, the browser is displaying headers in Arial. Then the css is applied … I guess for the average windoze user he is just going to get the arial fallback anyway, so its not too serious but interesting that your liberation fonts seem a bit dodgy. Does changing size (ctrl-+ etc) make any differemce?

Bob.

This seems to happen only with font size = 10px and 12px. Changed it to 13px. Looks ok now, as good as it gets on Windoze at least (FF4 actually has some default font antialiasing).
