girish.kc Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi, I am using web safe fonts in my application but still in Linux Firefox the font looks very thick. In windows it is perfectly fine. Here is my css code: font: bold 18px Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif seems to be problem with only the bold. Need some advice. Thanks, Girish Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/250864-font-looks-different-in-linux-and-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe92 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Try changing the bold property to this; font-weight:600;opacity:0.99; Had this problem with safari on macs before and that fixed it.

ManiacDan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 "Trebuchet MS" is a Microsoft proprietary font, hence the "MS" in the name. Linux doesn't have a trebuchet variant. Linux users are used to this, however.
