I’ve chosen to use Droid Sans for the title on my wordpress.com site.

The font settings are identical to those for the title on my self-hosted site at http://billbennett.co.nz

Why is the .com version not as pretty when I view it using the Google Chrome browser? It’s quite badly rendered on my desktop computer screen, but looks just fine on the iPad and in Internet Explorer.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is the free hosted WordPress.com blog in question > http://billbennettnz.wordpress.com/ and using Firefox 8 I see an identical font display to what I see here > http://billbennett.co.nz

I’m a bit confused at what I’m seeing, since it appears that http://billbennettnz.wordpress.com/ seems to have a domain mapping to http://billbennett.co.nz

Yes, confusingly, the domain redirect happened overnight New Zealand time.

Both are now identical. On my Chrome browser the fonts don’t display crisply, but they do on IE and Safari.

I’d say this is a browser issue rather than a WordPress one.

I agree that this seems to be a browser issue.
