Hi, I was a Firefox user before, and lately I moved to Chrome for different reasons. But now I am trying the new FF again, and I love it. But the fonts on the webpages on FF are more bold or blurry than fonts on Google Chrome (Chrome's fonts are much sharper, and thinner). Why is that? I mean I have searched a lot about this, and all I can find are some css codes or something, which I don't understand! So I have this rather simple query, is there any way to change the font of webpages on FF and make it exactly same like GC's? I don't really want to know that FF renders system font correctly, Chrome doesn't etc, to me eyes the fonts on Chrome are far more pleasant/soothing and doesn't hurt even after long time, but with FF my eyes are getting strained after just 15 minutes.

I have uploaded two comparison screenshots too, one at 200% and another at 125%. The latter is my default set font.

I'm not sure if this is your problem (your fonts look fine on my screen) but try this page: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28790/tweak-cleartype-in-windows-7/

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

Thanks for the inputs guys, but neither helped me! I didn't zoom in accidentally, it was on purpose! I even mentioned that in my post!

Anyway, as I see things, this is how fonts look on Firefox, unlike Chrome, it will be bold and thick, and awful to my eyes, and there isn't any way around that. Not my thing really.

Kindly close this topic.

I don't see the difference between the Firefox and Chrome fonts in the picture. Sorry.
