Italic text looks crappy on windows...
So, here's a snapshot of a web page in Safari and Firefox on Mac:
And here's the same page in both Internet Explorer and Firefox in Windows:
Any way I can make italic text look better on Windows (strangely, Safari in Windows renders it beautifully)? I tried giving an explicit font family, thinking that maybe it was just differing default fonts, and I even tried bumping the point size up a couple notches. No luck...
Thanks!
