May. 28th, 2012 01:30 pmAny font experts out there?
I've been having an odd problem with looking at websites. I've noticed it this morning on Freethoughtblogs and on the MTYG website: bold text doesn't appear as bold text, it shows up as a somewhat dishevelled font instead. Not Comic Sans, but this one has something of the same 'feel' about it.
Here's a screencap:
I am at a loss to discover
(a) what this font may be (I have looked through my extensive list of fonts and it doesn't seem to be one of them; I have also resorted to 'WhatTheFont', which didn't work either...) It has a distinctive p, k and t in particular, but so far I'm having no luck. Can you identify the font?
(b) why the heck my browsers are doing this. It doesn't happen everywhere - the bolding on my own website is fine, for instance, but the FTB and MTYG sites have the same display in both Safari and Firefox. I was hoping there'd be a place in Preferences where it said, inexplicably, Use Daft Font For Bold, but if there is, I can't find it and nor can my Resident Expert.
It is, of course, possible that for some reason these sites are using this odd font... except, it doesn't show up in Chrome on Beast's computer.
WTF, anyone?
ETA: Problem solved. The font is Serrif Grunge, and has been ejected from my computer. And all is well.
