    @opentuition_team
    It looks like this (on Chrome): https://i.imgur.com/JedUDhR.png
    (on IE11): https://i.imgur.com/9DEpS5w.png
    To slim to be honest.. It could be Chrome font rendering as well. Let me check on other browser as well.

    IE11 – Superb font rendering on this site
    Chromium 34 (I know its Dev but still) – Too slim fonts and looks crap in front of IE rendering
    Firefox render also fine.. let me post either IE or Firefox rendering sample as example…

    Yeah, they improved little bit. Can you look into why small font words like “keymaster” looks quite fragile and not solid as compare to IE11 and Firefox.
    Extremely sorry for making and demanding etc.. SORRY!!

    That’s good

    Can you just do me a small favor and check chapter 2 or 3 F3 lectures on your phone

    Of they work ok..
    Other chapters probably won’t.. Not sure about windows phone

    Just checked and fonts look OK with IE throughout site on Chapter 2 and 3 of F3. Hmmm!! I think its Chrome only issue.
    Since I am browser freak, not to mention Chrome is also working on its font path rewrite from Google fonts to native DirectWrite (Direct 2D – hardware accelerated font rendering) on Windows Vista+, I think this exposed this bug and you are using font and size which exploit this. Lets see..

    Player does not load on Windows Phone, IE does not have Flash plugin.

    The thing was, those lectures chapter 2 and 3 should load without flash player

    So it’s quite disappointed to hear that they don’t

    Current situation of JW Player:
    “JW Player fully supports iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android (phones and tablets) in HTML5”
    from source: https://www.jwplayer.com/html5-flash/

    Comparison of different HTML5 video player:
