When displaying Greek symbols with, for example, π , I get very different results

  • 0

When displaying Greek symbols with, for example, π, I get very different results in Chrome and Safari versus Firefox. As some example text, I have:

Chrome:

Chrome's rendering

Firefox:

Firefox's rendering

Is there a way to get Webkit to render the letters closer to Gecko’s style, which I much prefer here?

EDIT: Actually, it seems the problem does not have to do with Webkit itself, as it seems to render the way I like it under Chrome in Windows 7: (I was using Snow Leopard and didn’t bother to check on my other computers, heh)

Chrome on Window's rendering

Also, a bit offtopic, but does anyone know why the fonts seem to be rendered a bit more boldly on the Mac than on the PC?

    Okay, so the weirdest thing happened. I was looking at my site again and suddenly realized that the Greek was rendering perfectly. Am not sure what happened, since I don’t think I ran any updates or anything, but the problem’s gone now. Not very helpful of course to others with this problem, but that’s just what happened…
