Type rendering: web browsers
Tim Brown, writing for Typekit:
For the specific task of type rendering, layout engines almost always defer to the operating system’s text rendering engine. This explains why type in the same web browser renders differently on different operating systems. Furthermore, browser preferences can override or change default OS font smoothing settings. Let’s look at how type rendering is affected, or not affected, by each popular web browser.
