An HN Alternative for Long-form Content

Still no good.

Are you doing some kind of scaling? It looks much better when I scale to 110% (Chrome and IE), but at the default 100% I get the artifacts. Tried a few different zoom settings, some are ok, some are not.

On the HN site I can zoom to any size and the font renders correctly .

Seems to be related to font size.

fine at 50px (additional 1.05em) http://i.imgur.com/lafmcpQ.png

I wish I had a Windows computer to test with. I'd play around with font size in the inspector until I got it rendering correctly. If you can give me a font size that renders correctly I'll change it.

super easy way to get windows vms installed on virtual box. Installs as many versions of IE as you want/need, preconfigured on clean vms. The vms are provided by microsoft: http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools

I'm not a web guy but you might need to check out the root cause, from looking at the inspector I presume you're using google webfonts? this might be related:

Regarding a windows machine, you can get a free micro windows instance on Amazon AWS.
