Varför samma typsnitt blir olika på Mac och Windows

Joel on Software om skillnaden mellan Apples och Microsofts filosofi om hur typsnitt skall visas på skärmen

• Apple generally believes that the goal of the algorithm should be to preserve the design of the typeface as much as possible, even at the cost of a little bit of blurriness.
  
  

• Microsoft generally believes that the shape of each letter should be hammered into pixel boundaries to prevent blur and improve readability, even at the cost of not being true to the typeface.
