Webkit Support - Font Smoothing

Hi, 

I've tried testing this webkit feature in a blank email template with font-smoothing, though it works on a browser, I don't see a difference in my Outlook email client. 

Is webkit something that Marketo supports? If so, are there any documentations that show how we can use webkit when coding our HTML emails?

Thanks!

Re: Webkit Support - Font Smoothing

I am assuming you are declaring inline styles rathar than global CSS for emails. The latter goes against all best practices in the widest context, not just Marketo.

I am also assuming you are declaring something like
-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased; 
-webkit-text-size-adjust:none; 

That is often used for responsive emails.

Outlook is just highlighting its limitations. That is unrelated to Marketo in general and Design Studio in particular. 

Marketo will send the code as you defined it. It is up to the email clients to render what they receive. Outlook up to 2007 used a proper rendering engine. It switched to MS-Word (yes, a word processor) as rendering engine from 2010.
