Take a look at http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=3044914&page=1 and their headline: Space Marathoner Already a Record-Setter as well as the sub headline under it. This is not an Image, it's text.... How does ABC News get that fuzzy anti-aliasing around the text like that? I'm viewing in Firefox 2. I found their CSS but I can't find anything to explain how they formatted the font like that... anyone know? Thanks!
Theres a tool which determins font, a DP member published it on the forums, cant remeber the thread or URL though
Yea, but wouldn't that font need to be installed on every client machine, as well, in order to display? For instance, I can set font XYZ in Dreamweaver, but if people viewing my site don't have font XYZ installed, it appears as Arial or Times New. ABCNews.com is somehow forcing a font....
I am NOT sure if I see what you see 'Verdana','Tahoma','Arial',sans-serif; is what they use apparently on their page hence how exactly their page looks may depend on whether or NOT you have their choice of fonts installed on YOUR machine and if or NOT you have antialiasing enabled or disabled on YOUR machine see http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/November2004/article353.shtml for me here that header looks just plain like any other font incl the sub-title hence may be your PC may have totally different desktop settings than I have or others have
I understand what you're saying -- but my settings are default. My desktop is not anti-aliased, only these two Headlines are. Checked it on a few PC's, including a Mac, and I'm getting the same thing. Somehow they are forcing this style... just wondering how.
default settings ... is most relative i have SuSE linux 10.1 using KDE ffx newest linux version and i have 1200+ fonts installed on my "default" desktop and you ? there are no default settings in today's www each OS - each desktop - each version may be differently configured by "default"
