That's because he use Chrome on Windows, who doesn't render webfont well due to the usage of GDI instead of DirectWrite in the Windows version: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692

You're right. It even looks better on IE8. http://i.imgur.com/xrhfJGp.png

Here's a screenshot of nightly with a similar issue. http://i.imgur.com/HP02e5b.png

Even this, with the font stripped out looks better http://i.imgur.com/6KB2iuG.png

Are you on XP? (I ask because it looks like you don't have any anti-aliasing on).

If you adjust your cleartype settings (or turn it on in XP) it will look a bit more normal.

On Windows 7 but yes, you were right. I got a new machine and the cleartype was not turned on yet. It looks much better now. http://i.imgur.com/73Ic6w0.png I appreciate your help.

I'm using Chrome on Windows and it looks fine. Has to be some other setting he messed up.
