Comment on Show HN: Reportr - Your life's personal dashboard

The text on the Reportr website looks kind of off on Windows.

All custom fonts look off in Chrome on Windows, because Chrome on Windows uses a different font renderer than every other browser, including Chrome on other platforms. Last I checked the official Chromium bug (which is almost 2 years old now), someone talked about starting work on using DirectWrite in April. Hasn't happened yet.

If you want to see how the site's supposed to look, load up Firefox or Internet Explorer.

This font rendering issue is one of the most frustrating things about using Google Fonts. It's actually the reason I've stopped using the service completely.

I see. Thanks for the heads up.

Google Chrome != Windows

Should've clarified that at the time.
