Created by: rspeer

I understand that your project doesn't officially support WebKit on Android as a browser, but it's a shame to have Bootstrap sites be garbled on Android when they don't have to be. I've found the CSS rule that was causing failure on Android (text-rendering: optimizeLegibility) and commented it out.

As a side effect of removing this line, I have found that fonts on my site render much better on Windows. The "optimizeLegibility" declaration was causing Windows to adopt an aggressive hinting strategy that actively changed the heights of some glyphs, giving text a haphazard appearance.

Of course, you should weigh this benefit against whatever motivation you had to include that rule.
