That's an 'old windows text rendering' thing. You can turn variable fonts on in Firefox, and it behaves like Chrome; but neither one works like that on MacOS.

- ygra 8y agoAll browsers on Windows by now use DirectWrite and Direct2D as far as I know. It's not an inherent limitation of the text rendering API. Yes, GDI always uses pixel-grid fitting, but no browser has used GDI text rendering for a while on Windows (Chrome was the last to switch, IIRC, and before they did, webfonts looked horrible).
