Medium weight has bad/no anti-aliasing at certain font sizes

[stefan-schweiger]

When you use the medium variant and set it to certain font sizes the font looks very choppy. You can try it out yourself by simply setting the font size in Googe Fonts to 14px and 15px.

Here are example. Look at the "e"s and "o"s.

14px

15px

Hi,

We have the same problem

I've just stumbled across the same issue. At First I thought my Vivaldi browser is not handling the font rendering in the correct way, but I checked all other browsers and the results were the same.

When any website uses the following line:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,600,700&amp;display=swap">
the font rendering is not properly anitialiased, exactly like in the screenshot above. But when I downloaded this font, installed it, overridden the font with Stylish extension with the following script * { font-family: sans-serif !important; }
and then set in my browser settings sans-serif to Open Sans it looks perfect. Why?

Same problem, but with the 700 (bold) weight font.
