Aqua-Soft ForumsI hate to make a new topic for this, but I was wondering if there is a more accurate font for this? See screenshot compared.
Konfabulator Weather Text
i would imagine you want the font from the first screen... am i not mistaken that this is a mac website, i mean for real macs, not our faux macs? if that was a screenshot from a mac, then even if you get the exact same font used, it might not appear exactly the same... macs render differently than pc's, apparently better... this was just discussed in another topic somewhere. not ever owning a mac myself, i'm really going on the word i've read there. here's the other topic post if you want to read the whole thing:

That Konfabulator font is absolutely awesome...
Yeah wookie, I understand the rendering. Its just that when u look at the fives for example, they look completely different as well as the 6's. They have a slope to them in the konfabulator font, whereas in the pc's lucida mac theres no slant at all. I was just wondering if there was a better font out yet that could emulate these numbers a little better.
I Think the other issue is anti aliasing, I'm not sure if anti aliasing is built into samurize in the same way that it is in Konfabulator.
When 'smoothed' all fonts appear better and less pixelated.
So, making the text in photoshop would be smoother? So if we could find a way to make a set of temperatures as graphics and then tell the script to upload the given graphic at at that certain temperature then the temperature would appear better? Or am I missing something?
not sure if this helps, but you can upload an image and compare the font to others in the database: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
