I have a question for you. I'm currently working on text animation and i have a little problem with it. When I use properties like -webkit-transform my font goes from normal to thinner during the animation and goes back to normal when the animation is over.
Here is my code for the animation :
@-webkit-keyframes flipOne {
0% {
-webkit-transform: perspective(40000px) rotateY(0);
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-out;
}
100% {
-webkit-transform: perspective(40000px) rotateY(720deg);
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in;
}
}
and here are the two pictures (before and during the animation)
Before :
After:
It's exactly the same settings for the fonts (before or during or after the animation)
Is that a rendering settings ? If yes, can you guys give me a little tips ?
Thanks in advance.
This is probably related to the font-smoothing that Safari does, i.e. applying anti-aliasing to the text. My guess is that the smoothing is not applied while animating.
I'd reckon that setting the following will fix the problem:
-webkit-font-smoothing: none;
But it might also be a bit of a problem as it most likely will render the text pixelated all the time. I have no means to test this right now, sorry.
Adding something like
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
to the states you have might apply the smoothing correctly. Again, this is just guesses and there might not be a CSS3 based solution yet. In that case, you might wan't to apply the resizing to the container element (for example zoom) and use EM values on your font size. Make a responsive container.
If that doesn't help either, there is no other way but to apply some Javascript here.
I met the similar issue and find the comments here.
By adding this:
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
seems to solve my problem in safari ( but screen's not a retina one ). But after checking this carefully, I found that the font seems a little more slim than what it looks like in other browsers. So I changed this to:
-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;
and this solve my issue perfectly.
Leave a comment here in case that some one may meet the same issue.
