cross browser - Is the website rendering OS dependent? -


i'm developing simple web site, 1 web page, need 1 single page should in browsers. now, testing purposes, have installed bunch of web browsers on windows 7 machine (ff, chrome, opera, safari, netscape etc.) , after doing markup changes, i've got same looking webpage on browsers.

now question is, "the way" browser renders web-page depend on operating system browser running on? should install linux (or other os) , test again or fine?

you should testing sites cross-platform, others may disagree, rendering different.

in addition base-rendering, may missing fonts, have alternate fonts same name, have anti-aliasing enabled/disabled on different platforms/configurations , more.

to see mean, on base install of windows 7 firefox 5, osx firefox 5 , linux firefox 5, when using font 'arial' or 'verdana', see differences, if fonts do exist on platforms.

on top of differences you'd see above, positioning out if you're using non-absolute values (hell, if using absolute values such px out!), it's best practice check sites cross-platform, it's important checking cross-browser, in opinion.
