Be nice if we can beat Google in supporting it ;)

Font smoothing fix

I think the version added in this bug had issues with windows font smoothing. I didn't know if anyone fixed that before adding it in, so I attached a fixed version. You may want to try it on windows.

Thanks for including the font in Wikimedia. This is awesome. :D

Please open a new issue. Adding new requirements is not ground for reopening.
