Fonts in Chrome Browser?

Carlwill · 2010-09-24 21:31:33

Has anyone noticed that fonts in Chrome look very thin and small? I have tried changing the fonts through 'Settings' > 'Options' > 'Fonts' and change all three settings but when I compose fonts in Facebook or Gmail, it looks so small and nothing like the font that is rendered in other web pages. Fonts for search results in Google and Forums look rounded & anti-aliased but when there are windows for me to enter text, it looks horrible.

When I open Firefox, every font looks nice and crisp.

Anyone else have this issue with Google Chrome web browser?

Chrome doesn't honor fontconfig settings, sadly.

that happens here as well. that's why i created a custom.css file and added

/* Fonts and Dimensions */
* {font-size: 15px !important;}

to it.

Patches for Chrome to honor the lcdfiter setting are in this bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue … l?id=29871
With those patches applied, I now get the exact same fonts in Chrome and Firefox.

Interesting Gusar. I will try that patch and see if that works.
