    Hi,

    Just wondering if you guys had come across this before?

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/508261/ffox.png

    I’m getting this in Firefox and Chrome on Windows XP and 7. On the mac its fine.

    Can you see how the letter t’s are deformed when using the bolder font weight.

    I’m using Museo Sans 300 / 500 with @font-face.

    Thanks

    Richard

    It’s pretty common for custom (non-standard, non-websafe) fonts to look a little jagged, especially in Firefox and Chrome on Windows. IE should show it fine, and like you said, Mac usually doesn’t have problems with it either.

    Where did you get those fonts? By the way, this is not a CSS issue.

    @Senff It is common because they are poorly optimized for the web using auto-hinting algorithms in most cases.
