Better Fonts in Safari for Windows
Posted by Richard Cooper | Filed under Browsers, General
I have been experimenting with the fonts available from typekit for web design, and was really disapointed with their rendering on Windows.
Safari Font Rendering
Firefox Font Rendering
After a bit of digging in the settings of my Typekit browser of choice (Currently Safari 4 as my day-to-day browser Chrome 4 is not supported by the Typekit admin yet!) I found the following font settings within Safari.

There are 5 possible settings for font smoothing, and I recommend you try them all for yourself as the results depend on your screen (and eyes!)
Standard Smoothing
Light Smoothing
Medium Smoothing
That’s Better!…
Now why can’t Chrome and Firefox implement something like this?
