    <p>Let's zoom in for a closer look at your examples:</p> <p>Chrome: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lET5B.png" alt="enter image description here"> &nbsp; &nbsp; Firefox: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xoxPB.png" alt="enter image description here"> &nbsp; &nbsp; IE: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fP7Mq.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Notice that Chrome and Firefox are clearly using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering" rel="nofollow noreferrer">subpixel rendering</a> (a.k.a. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ClearType</a>), while IE isn't. The difference probably comes down to user settings (or the browser / OS default settings, if the user hasn't changed them).</p> <p>In particular, whereas Chrome and Firefox do their own text rendering, IE uses the default text rendering settings of the OS. Apparently, since Windows 8, <a href="http://www.istartedsomething.com/20120303/cleartype-takes-a-back-seat-for-windows-8-metro/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ClearType has been disabled by default</a> for Metro-style applications, including IE. Don't ask me why, though.</p> <p>Anyway, the bad news is that, as a web developer, there's not a lot you can do about this. In fact, you can't even count on subpixel rendering being <em>possible</em>, let alone enabled, for all users &mdash; it only works on certain types of displays. You really just have to accept that the details of text rendering are going to vary between users, depending on lots of things like the browser, OS, display hardware and user settings.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Well, OK, you <em>could</em> try using something like <a href="http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cufón</a>, but that sounds like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer. In any case, if you used that for <em>all</em> text on your site, I'd expect the performance to be pretty horrible.</p>

    1. COThanks for the comments, did you mean the performance in case I've used Cufon? What do most web developers do with this problem? is there a better font type or a recommended minimum font size to use?

    2. COYes, the "horrible performance" was in reference to using Cufón for all text (not that I've ever tried it, but that's what I'd expect). Anyway, what most developers do is just accept such variations in font rendering as a fact, and just try picking font settings that look reasonably nice and readable on most browsers. There'll always be some users with display settings that look horrible to you, and some of them may even like it that way -- for example, some people with poor eyesight actually find that disabling anti-aliasing _entirely_ makes text easier to read for them.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
