Safari for Windows - Change Font Smoothing
SUMMARY: Change the amount of smoothing Safari performs on text to increase legibility.
Similar to some other web browsers, Safari for Windows includes technology to smooth the display of on-screen fonts to help increase text legibility.
However, Safari takes font smoothing a step further and lets you adjust the amount of smoothing you wish to perform. Depending on your monitor type and preferences, experimenting with these settings may create pleasing results, as seen in the below screenshots:
