Webkit-transform CSS Properties Hose Font Rendering?

Transforms in Safari are hardware-accelerated. It allows for much better speed, but the rendering doesn't follow the same pipeline, and some quality is lost. There's nothing you can do about it, except not use transforms.

Well, crap. That was the one answer I didn't want to hear. :-) Is there anywhere else I can follow up on this for more info?

I can't find squat on Google. Thanks. – Rob Wilkerson Aug 4 '10 at 11:53 @Rob Wilkerson: I'll try to search again.

I remember animating a png, and during the animation its quality would be lowered, and that was because of the hardware acceleration. I don't remember where I found the info though. – zneak Aug 4 '10 at 15:12 In this case, it's not during the animation.

Just having those styles active--even when no transformations are active--degrades the quality. – Rob Wilkerson Aug 4 '10 at 18:24 I just got confirmation of this from an Apple employee in their dev forums--devforums.apple. Com/message/271429#271429.

I think this is actually possible to fix in later iOS revisions (I believe 3.2 & 4.0) by using -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased. Note: The aliasing will still be different, but will look less awkward if it's animated.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
