So, in order to get legible headings on the web page for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac OS X, you apparently need to be visiting the page with a PC running Windows 7 and with the font installed. But it’s not included with Microsoft Office 2011.) (Maybe if you purchase Windows 7, you get it for free.
Now, since the font is a TrueType font, I suspect that it would work just fine under Mac OS X, in spite of what this page says. Well, as far as I can tell, the headings are formatted using a style in one of the page’s CSS style sheet, which in turn makes use of a font called “Segoe UI Light.”Īnd where does this font come from? Why, from Microsoft, of course. If I blow things up, even on her laptop, it still looks pretty awful. Now, I’ve checked the page on my wife’s MacBook Pro, which runs a slightly older version of Mac OS X, and things look somewhat better - but still not great.
I don’t know about other Mac users, but when I go to the Microsoft web pages for Office for Mac, I get headings that look like this:Īnd it does not get any better when I make things bigger:įor the record, this is in Safari, but it looks just as bad in Firefox.
