Chris Lozos Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The first thing I notice is the nice type ;-) I don't know how long it will take the wizards to nullify the noticeable speed hit of "Optimize" but I trust that they will. Nicely written and concise! Link to comment
jpamental Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm curious to see if the same issues hold true when using font-feature-settings to enable kerning and ligatures instead. Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I replicated the Moby Dick test that Nick mentioned in the comments on that site and also tested it with my own site. I couldn’t find a significant difference for a) OptimizeSpeed b) OptimizeLegibility and c) font-feature-setting kern/liga. However, it might really depend on the actual site. Certain layouts might lead to very different results. Link to comment
