Font changes when Quoting and using bold letters.

I noticed this when I quoted and used bold letters while commenting on someones post. As you can see in the above picture the font gets smaller and a little blurry to me. Below I will also provide three examples of what I am seeing. First example: Normal quote and normal font. [quote]Its a good day to be a member of the community[/quote] As you can see here, everything is normal and easy to read Second example: Just bold alone. [b]Its a good day to be a member of the community[/b] Again everything here is Bold, but still readable and clear Third example: Bold font, inside of a quote. [quote][b]Its a good day to be a member of the community[/b][/quote] But here the Font is compressed and from what I am seeing gets blurry or fuzzy so to speak. Now I'm not sure if its just my computer or if thats how its supposed to work, but I just wanted to point it out if the font wasn't meant to do that. Here is what I am running. OS: Windows 7 Browser: FireFox Are you running add-ons/plug-ins?: No Dark/Light Theme?: Dark Thanks for reading, sorry if this is nothing haha Sidenote: Interesting discovery after testing this on IE, Chrome, and Firefox and each with dark and light themes. I have seen that each web browser has different fonts when using quote and bold together. Firefox being the worst and most fuzzy or compressed as I said, and Chrome and IE are Much clearer. I will post pictures to compare for others. Here are the pictures of each web browser to compare: [url=http://i.imgur.com/mCr1tdC.png]Firefox: Bold letters and quote[/url] [url=http://i.imgur.com/Z6kyewD.png]Chrome: Bold letters and quote[/url] [url=http://i.imgur.com/Lg9vuQp.png]IE: Bold letters and quote[/url] As you can see, unless I'm going insane, Chrome and IE, are different from Firefox. Now this isn't the biggest problem, but I found myself trying harder to read quotes with bold letters harder. So I thought I would mention it.

  • What you've stumbled upon here is different browsers' methods in rendering embedded fonts. Each of the browsers you mention here uses a different rendering engine, and each renders fonts in a different way. Even different versions of Internet Explorer render fonts differently from each other. At this point in web technology, there's no great way to duplicate font-rendering across browsers without doing something like replacing text with images or similar hackery. Nevertheless, it's a good thing for us to keep our eye on. Thanks!

      Most likely the way it's supposed to be. But, we can always ask for a font change! :D Even for regular text the font gets smaller. Could just be the font type, or it can end up being a bug. Doubt it tho.
