Safari 3.1 for Windows continues to use the Mac OS X font anti-aliasing approach rather than the native font anti-aliasing system in Windows (ClearType). The result is text that is often fuzzy, particularly smaller text. Sometimes small text looks bold when it isn’t. Setting Safari to “light” anti-aliasing produced the best results for me, but the text was still inferior to what one would see in IE or Firefox on Windows. I know some readers are going to e-mail me and extol the ways in which Safari’s font rendering encapsulates the ephemeral origins of the written word or some other such nonsense, but it comes down to a basic point: all of the anti-aliased text on Windows is rendered using ClearType. When your app uses a different scheme, it looks broken because it looks different.
—Safari 3.1 on Windows: a true competitor arrives (seriously) (Strambo. a me sembra che la cosa più figa di Safari per windows sia proprio l’anti-aliasing di qualità infinitamente superiore rispetto a tutto il resto del sistema)
