Monaco Gripe
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006 19:46Mac OS X 10.4.4: "Includes later versions of the Courier and Monaco system fonts that resolve certain Central European language and Cyrillic glyph display issues". In unantialiased Monaco 9, I have noticed the following differences:
- •: The bullet is slightly smaller. Good.
- & « »: The ampersand and angle-quotes look smashed. Bad.
- t: The lowercase 't' is intermittently shifted left one pixel. Bad.
- p: The lowercase 'p' is intermittently displayed narrower (the loop is squished). Bad.
And yes, I do mean intermittently. The appearance of 'p' is changing as I use the system.
