TTF vs OTF rendering difference on Windows (darkness/boldness) #170
Comments
On your screenshots from macOS, I see no difference between OTF and TTF. I know font rendering is different between OSes and browsers and low/hi-DPI, but I'm surprised there's such a huge difference between OTF and TTF on the same platform. |
OTF and TTF use different hinting methods, so some degree of visual difference is expected. |
Thanks for the link. |
Out of curiousity I've compared the OTF and TTF webfonts (WOFF). I've noticed that on Windows 7 or 10 (IE, Chrome, FF, all using DirectWrite IMHO), the OTF looks bolder/darker.

Does anybody know why this is happening? I've noticed the same behavior with another font, so it's probably not specific to this one. Thanks.
