Last night I was listening to a podcast by Jason Mayoff with Shankar Ganesh – both are writers for makeuseof.com , During their conversation they discussed about different browsers like Safari , Firefox , Opera in their podcast.
I heard Shankar said: he really likes the smooth font rendering in Safari, I would like to second that, as I also like the smooth font rendering in safari but in firefox font appearance is really worse as compared to safari.
But then I thought how can any one rectify the font rendering issue in firefox to some extent.
There can be two simple ways to render fonts smoothly in firefox which I found is to enable cleartype in firefox.
For those who don’t know about cleartype
ClearType is the Microsoft implementation of subpixel rendering technology, aiming to improve the appearance of text on certain types of computer display screens, especially LCD flat-panel monitors.
Let me just show you how the font renders without and with cleartype.
