IE9’s Stunning Text Rendering Quality

Not having the source available screams <i>rigged test</i> to me.<p>Edit: If only because I remember what they tried to do with this chart - <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/compare/default.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/compare/d...</a>

It would be nice if he would link to the test page he is using, so that we could see what this looks like on non-windows platforms.

Glad to see Microsoft getting on board with browser development and giving Mozilla, Google and Apple some competition.<p>I love Microsoft technology and when they put their minds to it, they do get it right I feel.

A few years down the road, displays may natively have higher PPI and this issue will become moot. See for example, <a href="http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2010/06/apple-retina-display/" rel="nofollow">http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2010/06/apple-retina...</a>

The original title is downright dishonest. Who really cares about awesome <i>canvas</i> text-rendering, when most text will be outside of canvas?

What about real text or something other than just a canned webpage? Like, for example, the front page of the Times or something.

What about raw text rendering and SVG rendering? I would like to see that as well

These all look terrible to me. I guess you get used to OSX fonts...
