Oh geezus. I'll take a look. I need to reinstall 10.6 on one of my machines or get safari 5 some other way. Kind of a bummer that Apple was unable to give 10.6 users Safari 6. I'll see what I can do. I may just be able to hide that menu completely when in fullscreen mode. HTML5 fullscreen is supposed to do this automatically but clearly its not doing it in Safari 5.

BIZARRO. I'll have someone smarter than I look into this.

Indentation in the blog is messed up or in the guide? Right now the guide is not getting any of the styling which it should. We have a class name which basically makes all wysiwyg content look roughly the same across the site.

I actually have a fix for this forthcoming. I noticed this last week, should hopefully go out on a push today.

@mormonwarrior: Can you site a specific piece of text that you changed that didn't get updated on the blog article? So that we can spot the difference in the wall activity vs the blog itself.

@frozenpixel: Thanks. I'll remove the text rendering css attribute and see if that fixes it.

Looking into this. Not sure if its only specific to 6.0.3 since the even more up to date Webkit dev versions are working.

@rayeth: The problem lies with the fact that many fonts are unhinted and Chromes renderer is using old school font smoothing. The problem does not show up at small sizes but in medium font sizes things can get really nasty. OS X, iOS, Windows IE/FF, Windows Surface, and Android all use better smoothing which does not need the specific hinting for things to look nice. Currently typekit has to manually hint these fonts, but they don't do it for all the weights. I've been going through and making changes just for Win/Chrome to fix this but its been a bummer for sure. And unfortunately for my sanity they don't have a way of showing which fonts have been hinted. You just have to notice during development or by looking at their screenshots.
