Title: Chrome Forum Font
Post by: Quotary on September 12, 2014, 20:06
Not sure if anyone using Google Chrome noticed that since the 37 update DirectWrite got enabled. (that's been a couple of weeks now)
I've got really annoyed by it, it became very uncomfortable browsing the forums because the font was so messed up, so I searched for a solution. (wasn't too hard with a good choice of keywords)

Here is a comparison between DirectWrite on and off, the difference is noticeable in the a in today,
DirectWrite on:

DirectWrite off:

You can turn it off by going to chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write
and enable the "Disable DirectWrite" option.
