Thanks for the heads-up Chris! I'm not seeing anything when viewing it in Chrome, but I will definitely look into it.

View on HN

Also, gray text on white background. Can't read it!

I was about to suggest the same thing, reading was very difficult.

Sorry, Rohan!

Yeah, that's really hard to read. I ended up not reading it because I don't want to spend 5 minutes squinting first thing in the morning :)

You could just use the chrome developer tools to change the colour ;) But yeah I agree

Just to confirm it does the same for me in Chrome 27.0.1444.3 dev-m. Here's a screengrab http://i.imgur.com/NwS2XFZ.png

Wow, that looks really crummy. What OS are you running? It looks fine on Chrome 26 on OS X 10.8.

I've got the same 'look' on Chrome 26 under Windows 7.

Wow, just wow. This is what the page looks like to me, completely different: http://i.imgur.com/kgKMGg4.png

Thanks for the head-up, Sam. I'm going to dive into this and get this fixed asap.

Chrome on Windows has horrendous @font-face rendering.

Thanks for the screenshot, SwirlyCheetah! This helps a lot.

I'm getting it on Firefox. This is what it looks like.

Same here.

Some kind of aliasing issue, goes away as you zoom in.

Is this a sign of a badly hinted font? At first I thought it was Chrome's font rendering problem[0] again, but it's rendering fine for me on Ubuntu/Chrome, and others here are seeing the problem with Firefox.

I'll take a look at this, Lee. Thanks for the resource!
