safari css bold font too bold

Question

the first line of font is rendered in Safari, and the second line of font is rendered in other browsers.

I think it is a common issue with the bold font rendering in safari. but does any body have a solution to this issue. the font is too bold in safari browser which makes it not so pretty. I try to set the font-weight:normal, then all browser renders the same. but some fonts need to be bold. thanks for help.

There is technically nothing you can do about this. Here's an article on the topic of crappy Safari font smoothing

There are workarounds though

• Use images instead of text
• Make the font look thinner
