Chrome Bad Font Rendering (Windows), But good with Brackets.io


I am using the latest Google Chrome version, with DirectWrite activated, but still the font rendering is terrible..

I thought is only about Chrome's abillity and there's nothing I cant do with it, but when I used "Brackets.io"'s Live Preview with Chrome, There was a nice, smooth rendering!

I've been alse trying to add -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased but it didn't work..

  • *The font used is Open Sans Hebrew from Google fonts: Linked here

Any Suggestions?

EDIT:
There's no diffrence between Brackets.io's code and Chrome's (css), I tried DirectWrite and -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased but no solution.

I think its about something on chrome's config, that bracket.io probably changed.

EDIT: Now I'm sure its a problem about my chrome browser. I went to another computer running the latest chrome and the rendering is good.. Is there a setting inside of chrome for it except DirectWrite?


Solution

  • I Found my answer, the problem was DirectWrite.
    The DirectWrite in chrome ignores ClearType (Windows' Text Smoother) So the font wont be smooth.

    I Just disabled Directwrite and the text became smoother.
