Clear Font on Safari For Windows
- Problem: Font is not as clear as other windows applications when using Safari browser.
- Reason: Safari is using its own font rendering algorithms.
- Solution: If you prefer to us windows' font rendering scheme, try following:
- Open Safari Browser, go to "Edit" -> "Preferences", then "Appearance", change "Font Smoothing" to something else. Does not matter.
- Quit Safari Browser and do following:
- Windows XP: open the hidden folder %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\
- Windows Vista: open the hidden folder %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari\
- Edit WebKitPreferences.plist:
- <key>WebKitFontSmoothingType</key> <integer>4</integer>
- Edit Preferences\com.apple.Safari.plist:
- <key>FontSmoothing</key> <integer>4</integer>
- Value 0,1,2,3 stands for Apple's standard, light, medium, strong Font Smoothing, 4 is an unpublished value, stands for windows font smoothing.
- Edit WebKitPreferences.plist:
- Note: The two .plist files do not exist unless you do Step 1 to change "Font Smoothing".
