Viewing fonts show up heavier when viewed in firefox

fonts show up heavier when viewed in firefox



User: Andrew D. 11 years ago
Is there any reason why fonts show up heavier (regular rather than light) when viewed in firefox?
Is there any way to fix this?

This bug has been around for quite while. Try pasting this into the Site Wide Head Code box in the Site Publishing Settings page…

<style type="text/css"><br />
body {-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale}<br />
</style>

Hi Roddy.
Tried that & it's still doing it. Hopefully I have put the code in the right place. Andy

Did you empty the Firefox history before viewing it?

This hack is from 2 years ago at least so it may not be relevant anymore. If you are really concerned about it, try the Firefox User Forum.

it only the text at the top of the page 'victorian pine'
would it be possible to add this with a widget & keep it as light font?
or even add h1 tags ( not sure if our name should have h1 tags)

just cleared cache and still has thicker font. Andy
User: Roddy 11 years ago
The website name should be the h1.

What font are you using for this?

Can you publish your site online somewhere so I can take a look.

Your problem is similar to this one :

http://billing.ragesw.com/forum.php?act=thread&amp;tid=2152&amp;p=1#post10

Your page use this :

font-family: 'Quicksand-Light','Quicksand'

But the link to google only loads Quicksand :

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quicksand

It should be :

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quicksand:300,400

The solution is in the post above.
