Setting up Mac OS X’s built-in Mail application to work with hosted Microsoft Exchange service from 123Together.com is actually pretty easy once you know how, but it took a bit of messing around to figure out the right steps.

Start by adding a new account to Mail. Choose “Exchange 2007″ as the server type, and enter your email address and password. At this point it will fail to auto-configure itself.

Next, enter exch1.123together.com as your incoming email server. Keep your email address as the username and enter your password if it is not already there. Enter anything you like for the description field — it’s the label you’ll see in the sidebar. Hit OK and you should be good to go.

Safari has historically had lousy kerning on its text rendering. This was particularly notable for headlines.

A while back, a fix was implemented. It wasn’t turned on browser-wide because of the performance implications, but it can be turned on by a web developer by setting the appropriate style.

The attribute to set is text-rendering and the value to set it to to enhance kerning and enable ligatures is optimizeLegibility.

The examples below show two pairs of headlines. The first in each pair has this style attribute set, and the second does not (technically, the second is set to optimizeSpeed). If you have Heveltica and Zapfino installed on an OS X device, you should see nicely rendered text below:
