There's an obvious problem with font rendering, not only for the Web, but for desktop applications as well.
While desktop environments don't concern Web developers, browser font rendering does, which indirectly brings all the desktop-based problems into play as well.
The Type Rendering Mix JavaScript library was created as a way to overwrite default font rendering procedures, and provide a better, uniform way of displaying fonts on Web accessible environments.
Type Rendering Mix can fix two major issues.
- The first is how fonts render globally, fixing the problem with thicker fonts on Mac devices (or thinner fonts on Windows devices, depending on your point of view).
- The second is how anti-aliasing is applied to fonts, each browser using its own settings and font engine, displaying different results of the same font
Type Rendering Mix provides a way to sniff out various platforms, and automatically apply corrections via various CSS 3 properties, fixing and homogenizing the way fonts are displayed to your users.
Requirements:
- JavaScript enabled on client side
