[help] Lucida Mac Looks Ugly

Hy,

Every time I try to use Lucida Mac on different skins proposed on the web, it looks really ugly.

The font seams to smudge.

For exemple :

Lucida Mac is thick. Atleast that's what I know about that font. Try Lucida Sans, Lucida Sans Unicode, L. Grande, etc.

I think it depends on the font size. When lucida mac is in a certain font size, it will look perfect. Check also if you have the font on bold, because lucida mac is already bold so you don't need to thicken it.

I'm not sure if Lucida Mac has the problem, but Lucida Grande and Finderbar don't seem to use Bold correctly. If chosen in a droplist, they'll always use the bold version, with no way to choose the regular. I've found that Lucida Sans Unicode is a fairly close match, and never has any trouble with this.

LucidaMac is definately not the problem in that picture, but there are many different versions of Lucida fonts that you can choose from, so if LucidaMac isn't working properly, just try something else.

Isn't Lucida Mac a type 3 (type 1?) font?

That may be the problem since they are always rendered using AA even if it is at a small size.
