CSS Text smoothing (anti - aliasing)

Post by kendall »

Hi,

I am using a CSS style font size 16pt on a font family : Arial and for some reason in IE it shows up "pixelated" how ever it looks very smooth in FF. Is there any particular reason for IE rendering the font so jagged?

If this is of any help...I am "importing" the text into a div via "Ajax".

Code: Select all

#faqAreaContent p, #kidsAreaContent p {
    font-size:16pt;
    font:large;
    font-style:normal;
    font-weight:normal;
}

I've noticed that as well in IE7 - text content that is either a) dynamically loaded via JS or b) is initially invisible, but made visible with JS, doesn't get thrown through the text AA engine & looks jaggy.

Best of luck with this :?
