ubuntu - @font-face: Why does this single font letter look different on Windows? -
i've created webfont set using fontsquirrel.com font called interface dalton maag. lowercase letter s looks different , larger other letters. happens on windows , on multiple browsers (tested on chrome 53, safari 5.1, internet explorer 11, firefox 49) .
(notice lowercase s letters on jessica , clements)
the issue goes away if zoom browser make fonts larger:
but doesn't happen on ubuntu (chrome , firefox)
is issue windows font rendering? or "font hinting" issue? how can fix this?
this "x-height snapping" on truetype (tt) hinting options. had download ttfautohint , manually adjust configurations , hint font file myself before generating derivatives through fontsquirrel.com leaving tt hinting options "keep existing", instead of letting fontsquirrel handle hinting (either using fontsquirrel hinting or ttfautohint hinting)
i had set "x-height snapping exceptions" -20
doesn't use "snapping" on sizes less 20ppem. produced correct height letter s
@ small font sizes. here's config:
the difference visible on windows font preview when don't set x-height snapping exception:
and when set -20
:
(above previews @ 12pt)
