Hi,
I'm by no stretch of the imagination educated in the field but i'm trying to understand why fonts that are supposed to be "web safe" are being rendered differently on different devices.
On my main machine the Impact font i'm using looks beautiful, but on another windows machine (windows 2008 server) it looks jagged
And then on my phone the font looks completely different, it looks like it's using arial or something, wtf? :)
Any ideas?

<head>
<title>test</title>
<style>h1 {font-size:200px; font-family:impact; font-weight:normal; text-transform:uppercase; color:#000; }</style>
</head>

<h1>Test</h1>
