IE7 Font Rendering

I have been playing around a bit with Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 and one of the first things that I noticed about it [other than the new UI] is that the fonts seem to render with ClearType. It was a bit of a shock because it was really subtle at first but now I really notice the difference. If you have IE7 Beta1 and goto http://news.bbc.co.uk and then try it with Beta2 you will see exactly what I mean.

Sweet.

I also found a link on the IE Blog about what has changed [http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/03/524367.aspx].

I lead the Chrome Developer Relations team at Google.

We want people to have the best experience possible on the web without having to install a native app or produce content in a walled garden.

Our team tries to make it easier for developers to build on the web by supporting every Chrome release, creating great content to support developers on web.dev, contributing to MDN, helping to improve browser compatibility, and some of the best developer tools like Lighthouse, Workbox, Squoosh to name just a few.

I love to learn about what you are building, and how I can help with Chrome or Web development in general, so if you want to chat with me directly, please feel free to book a consultation.
