Open Sans Google Web Fonts Rendering in Chrome

google-chrome, google-webfonts, safari

Solution

I've had luck in the past using `font-weight: lighter!important;` on fonts that appear bolder and completely different than what they are intended to look like. Each browser interprets fonts differently. Google Web Fonts tries its best to serve the correct versions, but sometimes there are drastic changes between browsers and operating systems.

Hope this information helps! Let me know if this solution works, otherwise I can look into it further. Open Sans is a nice font for web, nice choice :)

Problem

I've noticed a significant difference in rending of Open Sans (Google Web Font) from Chrome, to Safari/Firefox. I attach two photos, the first being chrome and the second safari. All I have in the stylesheet is: ``` font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size:14px; ``` Hope you can help, as I really like the chrome (first image) rendering but HATE the other one!!
