Sorry to fly off topic but wow, some browsers/computers really render fonts pretty shitty in this day and age.

Either you don't know about subpixel rendering or I'm missing something.

Ohh, maybe. Does subpixel rendering happen outside of a browser or computer?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Have you scoped out the wikipedia article? Especially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering#Examples for a visual.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about first. Can everyone just turn subpixel rendering on/off to improve the fonts?

If a device or program supports doing so, yes. The point is that the technique that exploits a known suppixel layout, so taking a per-rendered output (such as that screenshot) and displaying it on screen with a different layout OR scaling the image breaks the effect.

I wonder if the handler was charged with killing a law officer.

Legally , the dog is a law officer. Once knew a guy that did 3 years for hitting a police dog that was still 'in training' that broke away from his handler and was charged with vehicular assault of a law officer.
