Font rendering is just a finicky issue still and not every font will look perfect under every circumstance.</p> <p>You could try adding a 1px dark drop shadow to try and smooth it a bit but this will not work across all browsers and it can be a little too much of a difference that it makes the custom font not really worth it anymore.</p> <p>Sorry about that :(</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/font-alternatives-to-avoid-rendering-issues#post-53258 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:10:41 +0000 Jonty66 53258@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Guys - any further thoughts on this ? You are right, when using the browser to zoom in, the problem is almost entirely gone at 200%. So I guess we are seeing similar things. Questrial is just such a great font, and is the "icing on the cake" for this theme. Would be fantastic if we can find a work-around. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/font-alternatives-to-avoid-rendering-issues#post-53063 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 07:21:45 +0000 Jonty66 53063@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks v much Devin ! BTW I'm pretty sure it's not cufon, as that didn't work, and so I reverted to the default set-up with Google Questrial, which is such a great font, but we need it to look OK on Windows IE &amp; Windows Chrome !

That is a side effect of using things like cufon and google fonts as they don't always look perfect at every size. If you increase the size of the heading on your site, it begins to smooth out so I believe you have implemented the new cufon font appropriately so no issue there.</p> <p>I'll ask the other support crew to take a look in case they have some additional information/know-how that might help.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/font-alternatives-to-avoid-rendering-issues#post-52962 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:33:01 +0000 Jonty66 52962@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi !</p> <p>I've emailed you with a link to the site in question</p> <p>Cheers </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/font-alternatives-to-avoid-rendering-issues#post-52931 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:16:45 +0000 Devin 52931@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Jonty66,</p> <p>Can you provide a link to the site?

But the frontend is defaulting to a different font (looks like Times New Roman)</p> <p>I also tried the rename an existing font, but to no avail.</p> <p>Any help much appreciated ! </p>
