Enable DirectWrite for smooth font rendering in Windows (Firefox 4+, Vista/Win7)
- swah 15y agoCouple years with the Mac and I still think Windows fonts look better.
- aj700 15y agohttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2545698 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2545698 this supposedly fixes how directwrite works in ie9, but since it updates commonly used fonts themselves, I assume it could help the way firefox renders too.
- AshleysBrain 15y agoI thought Firefox enabled this automatically providing your graphics card drivers are up to date. If I force it enabled on my old GeForce Go 7600 all the text comes out as black rectangles. I assumed Mozilla knew about these problems so only enabled it when they knew it'd be reliable. So maybe leave it to Mozilla?
- sid0 15y agoIndeed. The advice is outdated and basically wrong. Flagged.
- greatquux 15y agoI run gdipp and decrease the hinting; I love my fonts now.
