That's what I'm saying, people prefer what they're used to.
I wasn't talking about taste as in "having good taste".
I'm OK with OS X font rendering, I've grown accustomed to it now. But some people aren't. A quick search yielded a few hits regarding the matter. Examples...
ZDNet: Vista puts Mac OS X font rendering to shame
Coding horror: What's wrong with Apple's font rendering?
Like I said, they're opinions. Like ******s, everyone's got one. It's all subjective. Some prefer slightly aliased fonts on the screen, for the crispness. Others prefer a look closer to that of print.
Ummm,
Taking an opinion of OSX from ZDNet is well like taking an opinion of Windows from the developer forums here.
Apple got rid of the font rendering issues in safari 3. Fixed in 4, its a non-issue. The font renders the way the OS does it.
