Disharmony
Dec 29, 2000

Like a hundred crippled horses lying crumpled on the ground

Begging for a rifle to come and put them down
Problem description: Not sure when it started but fonts tend to be crisp/sharp and jagged rather than smooth. For comparison, the pic below shows how it looks like in FF on the left and the one on the right is Chrome and how it used/supposed to look like.



Attempted fixes: Re-installed FF, deleted App Data, disabled Reader Mode

Recent changes: Not that I recall.

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

 What OS are you using and what brand of video card? Firefox might be using a different font without proper hinting, or it might just be that Firefox is using the OS native font rendering (which might be badly tuned) while Chrome doesn't.
