Do fonts display correctly?

November 14, 2010 · by Jan Schultink

I have changed the fonts on this blog to Helvetica Neue, they look great on every computer/browser that I have tried even if you do not have these fonts installed on your computer. Every, except for one computer/browser combination: my own Chrome browser on my own desktop (IE works fine)… Please let me know if you are experiencing garbled fonts on this site.

Looks a bit garbled for me. Using Chrome on XP on this machine.

Screenshot

It looks a bit better in IE.

Looks good Jan, but on my iPhone, it came across in a standard seriffed font.

David, thank you for the screen shot. It looks like the header and the image in the side bar are also garbled, that makes it a generic computer issue, not a font issue.

They do look ok in my Chrome/WinXP netbook. However, there is a bit of problem rendering the "l", for example.

OK on Safari on Mac, will check Chrome, Safari & IE on a Windows PC.

Thank you guys.

Luis, could you email me a screen shot to contact at axiom dot co dot il?

Something seems to have changed overnight. It is working fine now in XP/Chrome?

Jan, the jumbles on the header/sidebar images are probably an artifact of me taking a quick low-res screenshot and converting it to PNG. I don't recall them being messed up at the time. (I was on someone else's computer at the time w/o my usual tools at my disposal.)

FWIW, it looks fine on Chrome here on my primary Ubuntu Linux desktop.

I just sent you a screen shot, Jan. The "f" is bolded on Chrome.

Monkey wrench: safari on iPhone (via twitter app) = Times New Roman. Sorry.

Tears, could you send a screen shot to contact at axiom dot co il? Maybe clear the browser cache before?
