Well that was weird.
I updated my client's WP to 3.1 and afterwards the font looked fuzzy in IE8. These are the things I tried/clues I had:
- Setting IE's ClearType to on or off (tried both) didn't fix it
- Other sites looked fine in IE
- Disabled the TinyMCE Advanced plug-in I had also just updated didn't fix it
- Checked my OS display settings, nothing fixed it
- Changed the font size in IE (Page>Text size) didn't fix it
I ran the W3C CSS validator and the only problems it showed were errors with my box shadow styles not existing. That didn't seem like it so I kept troubleshooting. Finally I thought, wth, I'll take the -ms-filter shadow style off and what do you know, it fixed it. I guess the text was inheriting the shadow??
For the record, these are the styles I had to take out:
#container {
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#4b4b4b')";
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#4b4b4b');
}So, I thought I'd post this in case anyone else is as puzzled as I was.
I also updated several plug-ins, but don't remember which. Is there a log I can check so I can post that info here?
