 * I have recently discovered an issue where the text on my header and footer appears
   pixelated. It is not just my browser, as my client mentioned it and it also occurs
   on other devices.
 * Any idea how to fix this?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I looked…
 * I see an image of a girl whose eyes are slightly pixelated and a few images with
   text that are pushing the limits a bit and might appear pixelated on a better
   monitor than those I can afford. Those images have text in them…
 * I don’t see any raw text that appears pixelated which is what I wanted to see
   when I clicked through to look.
 * I was also wondering if you must run that WordPress from the wp directory or 
   was that just the directory you were working in… When I looked, the site seems
   to run the same from the root directory.
 * Did I miss something?

 * The images are fine, it is the text itself in the header and footer. I changed
   its size which appears to have mostly fixed the issue but was wondering if there
   was anything I can do to avoid it potentially happening again?
 * I am currently recreating their site using WordPress, so everything on the /wp
   directory is what I have created and anything not is pre-existing.
 * Once the site is completed to my clients comfort, we will move the /wp site across
   as the main site.

 * Sorry, which broswer are you using?
 * From my research am wondering if it is a Chrome issue…

 * Any new ideas?! Is also on a couple of pages…
 * I asked the plugin developers and their only help was to change the font family,
   which if it is the only option I will speak to the client about moving to a similar
   but different one but ideally would prefer another solution!!
 * It seems worst at 16px size, doesn’t seem to matter at 18px or 14px and is sometimes
   bad and sometimes fine at 15px and 17px.
 * Appreciate any tips at all!!!
