Problem description: Forum titles, and all normal text in posts (not italicised) appears bold to me, this is only the case on this site and only on Chrome. It's really annoying to look at and I can't find a way to fix it. This doesn't happen for the BYOB font so I assume it's something to do with the specific font that SA uses. e.g.  Attempted fixes: Enabled/disabled AdBlock Plus, no other extensions running. Recent changes: None Operating system: Windows 10 Location: UK I have Googled and read the FAQ: I've googled around but haven't been able to fix it.

Did this always happen or just recently? I'd try reinstalling Chrome completely.

It started happening seemingly randomly in the past few days or so. edit: nope, complete uninstall w/ regedit and it's still the same also Windows 10 won't allow me to set a default browser for some reason, not even Edge. sout fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 8, 2016 |

Managed to change my default browser by changing by file type, but the font problem remains. It must be something to do with Chrome because it displays normally on other browsers.

Loads of people who report this problem claim to fix it by deleting Helvetica Neue Noir Italique but I don't even seem to have that font on my PC.

Sometimes strange font/text issues are related to video card drivers but I'm skeptical since this is a very isolated issue. Running http://www.wagnardmobile.com/?q=display-driver-uninstaller-ddu- and then installing the latest GPU drivers would be an option.

Well, I've now noticed the same bold font on https://giantbomb.com on both Chrome and Edge (the W10 internet explorer) Unless someone can confirm this is what the supposed to look like (the description text for videos on the home page linked above)  I opened the site on my phone and it doesn't seem like it's supposed to be bold like that so I think that means this is not just limited to SA. Will try the graphics card driver reinstall tomorrow, but yeah I don't know if that will be what fixes it. e: yeah the GB forums have the same problem. sout fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Oct 10, 2016 |

Yeah, that's a nope on the GPU driver being the issue. The good news is I've gotten used to it now I guess but I'll keep looking for fixes.

e: whatever it was, I've managed to disable it by using custom css with a chrome extension for the roboto font also installing a roboto font pack seemed to fix the problem everywhere, good stuff. sout fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Oct 15, 2016 |
