I don't know how brilliant the OS X font rendering must be, but this font is 1px thick when zoomed to 300%. How is this supposed to work?
Doesn't work on OS X either.
Weirdly, it's teetering towards unreadable on FF, but looks reasonable in Chrome, here on Debian (though it's still subject to that stupid gray-on-gray fad).
Thanks for the heads-up.
I'll check it out in a more detailed way.
I think just changing the font-weight from 200 to 300 makes it a lot better. http://i.imgur.com/9XucxQh.png
Doesn't look any better with Firefox 35. I don't know how brilliant the OS X font rendering must be, but the strokes are 1px thick when the font is zoomed to 300%. How is this supposed to work?
This is exactly what I expected when web fonts came out. Does anybody know how to deactivate them globally in Chrome? I'm really tired of constantly changing fonts via F12, just to be able to skim some random article.
