Google webfonts

Question

Google webfonts look horrible on windows.

What is going on? Is this a temporary problem that will be fixed, or is this just a windows problem that will forever persist? If the latter, doesn't that mean the entire project is sort of useless?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if this is fixable? I really want to use custom fonts. :)

Answer 1

It's a Windows problem. Other embedded fonts are also poorly rendered on Windows. Try running my site - http://azabani.com/ - in Firefox on Windows. The DejaVu Sans font embeds and renders wonderful on Linux and Mac, but renders quite pale and odd in Windows.
