Microsoft’s C-fonts suck
I installed the Vista “C” font family, since MS swore up and down that it’d improve the web experience, and let me see how the other half lives on Windows. Well, it turns out that the other half sucks:
What you’re looking at is a web page using Colibri in its stylesheet. The font just slobbers all over itself sometimes, for no clear reason. I’m not sure if it’s broken kerning, or what. Maybe it’s Firefox’s problem, who knows. All I know is, I expect to be able to actually read web pages I visit, and this is not helping me.
update: Looks like it renders fine in Safari; it’s just Firefox which doesn’t like Microsoft’s fonts.
