Comparing Open Source Fonts
[Colin Fahrion]
Comparison in May 2010 of the Google Font Directory fonts by Colin Fahrion. For each font, in Windows Cleartype, Windows Standard, and Windows No Aliasing modes, he list pixel sizes for which each font is "best viewed at or above", "ugly at" and "illegible at". Across the board, the Droid fonts outperform the others: The Droid Family is the only font in this set that I would use for body text. All others are only suitable for headers or display text. And I would avoid using Inconsolata, Tangerine, Josefin, and Cardo except at really large display sizes (36px or larger). |
