Why do fonts look different on Mac and Windows?

Question

css

I created a site, made it resposnsive, I go to the poppy and the custom fonts that I connect additionally look different, wide ones are narrow here and vice versa. It is impossible to check OS in css, how does anyone act in this situation? Fonts I connect different extensions, fonts work fine! Checked disabling font family.

Answer 1

Differently. The render is different. At least different anti-aliasing in these operating systems.
And in Windows 8 and XP, the fonts also look different.
This is fine.

Answer 2

On Macs, anti-aliasing is not particularly used, there are usually displays with a higher pixel density.
for example, put a hackintosh on a regular com and you will see that the difference with Windows will not be so noticeable, but with the original poppy it will be striking.

Answer 4

Only use fonts that are tailored for use on different platforms. Such fonts will vary less between platforms.
