html - Standardizing font-weight between OSX and Windows -


i've read osx , windows have 2 different algorithms rendering fonts. such, it's common issue web fonts "heavier" when viewing them in osx in windows.

for example, same font, on same site, in same browser, on different operating systems:

enter image description here

here's arial exhibiting similar differences:

enter image description here

is there way of altering rendering of fonts in either windows or osx closer each other? or there other technique deal difference?

that font particularly bad example, deal lot of fonts , have never seen 1 that. keep in mind people used seeing fonts rendered way on own machines, , not job dictate how fonts should rendered.

a few things keep in mind use weights you've included, example, not use font-weight: bold on custom font-face if haven't included bold version of font. "browser bold" looks messed compared actual bold font.

also, fonts, find need change font-smoothing property webkit browsers, default (subpixel-aliased) can little heavy. can add property element uses problematic font (even body, if required).

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
