Legibility

Today we launched the new website of curator and writer Maaike Lauwaert:

During the development we noticed a curious little bug in Google Chrome:

The CSS-property text-rendering:optimizeLegibility switches on font kerning in browsers that support it, but Chrome seemed to have problems with calculating which parts of the page should get a roll-over effect:

t’s a small bug, and other browsers seem not affected by this, but it really bothered us. So for the moment, it’s /* text-rendering:optimizeLegibility; */

Update September 2013: When after a year, nothing had changed, we started to lose hope, but we just now had to check again – The bug is gone from Chrome v.29, finally.
