    Font Display Issue
    « on: October 15, 2012, 12:10:56 PM »
    Hello, I'm not a web designer, but I seem to be having issues displaying a commonly used web font.  I have the same issue with all the browsers on my system (Chrome, IE, and Firefox) so I don't think it's a browser issue.

    I believe the font in question is Helvetica Neue. 
    Example page: Digg.com
    This is what I see:  http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q610/EclairBA/diggtextexample_zps01d238be.jpg

    As you can see Rs and Ps are hard to read. There seems to be "hinting" or whatever it's called when some letters are bigger/taller than others.  It does not make for a pleasant reading experience.


    I'm using Windows XP on an older laptop, so perhaps that's the issue?  My browsers are up to date.  Is there anything I can do to get this font because it seems to be used more and more often.  I have another PC that doesn't have this issue (it runs Windows 7.)
