Font weight turns lighter on Mac/Safari

Question

On my last website, the text is perfect naturally on chrome and firefox without touching font-smoothing or anything else.
But on Mac / Safari 7 the text appears well the

Answer 1

Try this:

transform: translateZ(0.1px);

Webkit browsers on Mac has known problem with antialiasing 2d and 3d text elements differently. Giving the 3d property to the element usually fixes the problem.

Answer 2

Using -webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased worked a little bit, but there was still too much of a difference between Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. I realized trying to make the font thicker in Safari wasn't going to work, so instead I made the font lighter in other browsers and then used a slightly thicker font weight. What ended up normalizing the font weights across browsers for me is this:

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;

Answer 3

So I fixed my problem with applying:

body {
    -webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;
}

Now my font is consistent on every browsers.

Answer 4

try both

{-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;
-webkit-text-stroke:1px transparent;}

Answer 5

Just use this: link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,100i,300,300i,400,400i,700,700i,900,900i" rel="stylesheet"

Instead of this: link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato" rel="stylesheet"

problem solved for me this way!
