Hey<br /><br />I've noticed that a few sites I visit have fuzzy text that no matter what size I make it, it never stops being fuzzy. This is target="_blank">DMHall<br /><br />Here's a screengrab of what I see...<br /><br />Click to view attachment<br /><br />Is it my browser settings or is it the site's css? I'm using the latest version of FF target="_blank">W3Csites and notice in their CSS they specify "font-family: "Lucida Sans", "Lucida Grante", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" which is strange as I have Lucida Sans.<br /><br />Very annoying.<!--content-->
is Lucida Grande a standard PC font...if so why haven't i got it?<!--content-->
Lucida Grande is a Mac font.<br />I think Lucida Sans is a standard Windows font since XP, I think.<br /><br />So the text looks odd target="_blank">http://www.w3csites.com/profile.asp?u=Eskymo which got Lucida Sans as prefered font?<br />Have you tried a test page with text in just that font?<br /><br />What anti-aliasing do you have set for your computer?<!--content-->

target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucida_Sans_Unicode, explains that it's been a default font in Windows since 98. It's pretty much identical to Lucida Grande which is that site's first choice.<br /><br />So it appears that "Lucida Sans Unicode" should be defined instead of "Lucida Sans".<br /><br />*phew*<br /><br />Another typographical nightmare is over.<!--content-->
