On my site, but also from the skin that I modified my site from the font that is larger then normal looks jagged and messed up. The strange thing about it is that it only looks bad in IE but not in Mozilla, and it only looks bad if it's larger then normal size text.

Here's the url to my site (look at the date on the posts): http://www.xanga.com/skin.asp?user=friarblues

And here's the url to the skin: http://www.createblog.com/skins/download.php?id=1233

You can see on the skin preview the same thing. Anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

Holy... That's bad coding. Um... Try fixing this part of the code and actually filling in the values.
CODE
font,td,p,xmp
{color:#COLOR CODE;
font-face: FONT FAMILY;
font-weight:normal;
font-size:#pt;
text-align:justify;}
Other than that... All I can really think of is cleaning up that code.

yeah but that's not what's on my page, that's what's on the skin I originally took it from. If you look at my current page none of that code is on there, so it can't be that.

Then maybe try adding it. Or maybe it's the chroma filter, because that is ignored by Mozilla....

It would be odd if the chroma filter had anything to do with it since the text looks fine in Mozilla. For that matter the chroma color wouldn't affect the text in a different color anyways. wacko.gif

Adding that code shouldn't make any difference as well, since all that would do would be to style the font in one way or another. But without it it should go to it's default mannerisms.

Anyone else have any ideas? I gave the two links in the first post so that they might be compared with eachother to see if anyone can find a link between why they both mess up the larger font.

Alright, the solution did end up being the Chroma filter, which after I removed fixed the problem. That was odd since the chroma filter is suppose to turn whatever color it is designated at transparent, and none of my text were the color that was designated under the chroma tag.

But oh well, it works! Thanks, you can lock it up. :)
