The script-free one's quickest and best looking on Safari - that'll do me :-)

Ooooo, they claim WPF text rendering to be rewritten and fixed! Maybe I will try it now :)

Wow... the Lightweight version of MSDN is pretty nice and faster too. I'm glad they're finally cleaning it up.
Oh My God. On a good line, it probably twice as fast as desktop MSDN.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Looks like they stuck with Courier (for code) in the "script-free" version. Unfortunately, while the font is ridiculously large in "lightweight", it's painfully small in "script-free"... :sigh:
The script-free version seems to be using Consolas (as I set in my preferences) with Safari on OS X...

They've fixed numerous leaks, bugs, and slow parts of WPF, all because VS has used it all over the place. :cool:

I'm quickly installing the express version to satisfy my curiosity :)

Wow, it is almost looking real good, some fuzziness still, but hardly visible :) Fonts seem to scale lovely too.

Odd. I'm definitely looking at Courier, and haven't touched any preferences (Firefox, Win7). On a side note, the font size seems pretty decent on the WPF pages, but sucks on WinAPI topics[^]...
Wouldn't surprise me if Safari's quite happy to ignore what the website asks for - it's the Apple way… But interestingly, the WPF documentation displays in Courier on Safari (unlike the Win32 topics) and looks generally shonky. Bizarro.
