In a new project, we decide to use Gooogle Web Font. It pretty easy to set it up. But I see the font is rendering differently from monitor to monitor and even browser to browser.
How that could be?
Thanks!
There are two good articles about the topic, written by the TypeKit team:

The visual result of a rendered font is influenced by many things. Notably pixel density on displays and the way subpixels are rendered. Unfortunately subpixel rendering is different from operating system to operating system and from browser to browser.

The nearest you get to a consistent appearance is with well-hinted and optimized fonts. But Google doesn't seem to have a way to find only optimized fonts. So your back to testing :-)
