It's really irritating. I remember back in ye olde days if a website used a font that you didn't have installed on your computer, it would just display as the browser's standard serif or sans serif font.
But now I see blogs and pages set up with all sorts of crazy fonts and while some of them are fine and look nice, others I find really cluttered and horrible. And then recently I've been having an issue where it takes a split second to render the font as the page loads, which makes my eyes go all funny, and that's the part that's really bugging me.
All I can find on google is pages of results for an old fixed problem about badly rendering fonts in Chrome. Does anyone have any idea?
