    You can see it on the Epik demo when you go to a post. Especially if you compare the same post in Firefox or IE.

    The font looks jagged and thinner than what it’s supposed to be. I managed to get it to look less jagged with the SVG trick but the font was still too thin to read for a long period of time. In Firefox it’s nice and dark and there’s good contrast though. Even on my phone it looks great.

    In the end though I decided to live with the jaggedness since it’s not that bad but now I specifically say to use a font weight of 400 instead of 300 in the body when the browser is Chrome. It probably looks more pleasing to the eye with a font weight of 300 but it makes for easier reading with the higher font rate.

    I apologise for the state of my site. I’m still working on it. 馃檪 However you can compare the two pages in Chrome to see the difference. And see how it looks in Firefox (so pretty!).
