Type rendering: review, and fonts that render well
Tim Brown, writing for Typekit:
No one way of rendering is “correct.” Users, as well as designers, have preferences and comfort zones when it comes to reading on screen. Some people believe this is a matter of familiarity — that we read best what we read most — and there’s no denying that the introduction of an unfamiliar rendering style can be met with resistance, even if that style is popular elsewhere.
