“Cross-browser kerning-pairs & ligatures”

Improved handling of kerning pairs and ligatures in modern browsers using the text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; declaration.

The declaration is currently supported by: Safari, The Webkit Nightlies & Chrome. Firefox already uses optimizeLegibility by default.

Odd indeed that Webkit doesn’t enable this by default. The part of my blog that’s set in Georgia Cambria instantly looks a bit better — if you look closely. (I guess there is no kerning information in Lucida Grande?)

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
