Patrick, Mojca, Taco, and other Wiki-people:
The rendered text on the Wiki has suddenly become ugly -- letters are thinner (too thin!), and the edges of the text are a bit ragged.
My guess is that this is a result of the interaction between anti-aliasing and setting the transparency to true -- everything that was anti-aliased to gray is now also set transparent, and thus becomes white when displayed.
That is not necessarily be the problem, after all: it should become partially transparant a.k.a. grey ;-). It could just be that the pngalpha engine is a bit more spindly then the normal one (the effect is the same of course, but for a different reason)
I don't know if this is browser-dependent or not, but it's repeatable in both Opera and Firefox, on my (Windows) computer.
But I suddenly wonder how the wiki will look in IE. IE doesnt support transparent png. I'll try to find and IE somewhere for checking. Taco
