| Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | SharifA | 11/24/08 5:08 PM | I just installed Google Chrome. The typeface is relatively large and slightly blurry or fuzzy. Browser doesn't do any good if it gives you a headache trying to read the typeface. (I'm writing this using the Firefox browser because looking at this |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | egeway | 12/25/08 2:38 PM | I have exactly the same problem looking at Google Chrome: FUZZY TYPEFACE. No solution yet??? |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | pmorlen | 12/26/08 7:06 AM | I have the same issue. I'm running a Dell T5400 with Windows XP Svc Pk 3 and dual Dell AS501 LCD monitors. I hate to say it, but the typeface looks much better through Internet Explorer than Google Chrome. It's smoother and easier on the eyes. |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | pri40 | 12/26/08 6:09 PM | I view Chrome on several monitors - all LCD at 1024X768 (must be 60Hz) and they are all clear as crystal. I have tested my (own designed ) web sites on it and can't say this has ever been an issue. I just went and tried it on an older Dell 15" LCD mo |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | Grasshopper | 12/27/08 2:28 AM | I am having the same issue using an Acer laptop - 3 other browsers (Firefox, Opera and IE) are all crystal clear, only Chrome is the fuzzy one. Has anyone worked this out yet? |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | SharifA | 12/27/08 9:12 PM | No solutions yet. Since my original posting, I've done a couple of things: -- I've hooked my computer to a number monitors, from excellent to crappy. The fuzzy typeface is consistent across all monitors. -- I've done a side-by-side comparison of |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | rsides | 1/7/09 8:50 AM | Not sure this is really a ''solution" but I've found if you increase the font size by one unit (Ctrl+) it becomes much clearer. Still not as crisp as I'd like but definitely no longer headache inducing... |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | SharifA | 1/7/09 10:46 AM | Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it makes it a little less blurry, and might actually move it out of headache-land. (I notice I was able to read about half an article before I gave up again. I was squinting...) While better, it's still not at the l |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | Critesjm | 1/7/09 4:15 PM | Uhm.. have any of you turned on Microsoft ClearType? It makes all the fonts on your machine clearer. Try that. |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | CapitalQ | 1/7/09 4:32 PM | How odd. Unlike Safari for Windows, Google Chrome does not use any alternate fonts or methods of font smoothing on my system (pages display 100% exactly the same as they do in Firefox, IE or any other browser). Perhaps Google Chrome has a ClearType o |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | sandyland | 1/30/09 11:51 AM | I just installed Google Chrome today and have been able to use it for about an hour before my eyes felt strained. I am having this same problem, and am using 2 monitors, HP L1906 and my HP Compaq nc8430 laptop. I've tried the ctrl + to increase the |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | SharifA | 2/17/09 1:03 PM | I SOLVED IT MYSELF!! This is what I did... Open Personalization Click on Adjust Font Size DPI Select 96 DPI, click Apply and OK Restart you computer This turns the typeface on ALL of your items much smaller. But, the added benefit is that it make |

| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | egeway | 2/27/09 6:06 AM | I tried all the answers posted here, NONE of them helped me. Google tech please do something. |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | tameware | 3/2/09 1:48 PM | I had the same problem. Critesjm's suggestion of enabling ClearType did the trick for me: Control Panel/Display/Appearance/Effects/Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts/ClearType |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | srmani | 3/6/09 8:54 PM | Yes, changing to ClearType worked (and helped Firefox font too)! |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | Dejan1024 | 3/7/09 1:46 AM | I had no problems with typeface whatsoever, but I experimented a bit.When I turn ClearType on, Chrome typeface becomes fuzzy. When I switch back to Standard, the typeface is clear.(I am using Large fonts (120 DPI) font settings, by the way) I guess y |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | wulfom | 8/11/09 9:46 PM | Same problem here on Windows Vista Home 64. 1680x1050 res with 120 DPI. It doesn't seem like a web content problem either. The entire Chrome browser window: tab titles, toolbars, etc are all noticably fuzzy. It's not just text either, though text is |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | wulfom | 8/11/09 9:50 PM | I also tried turning cleartype off, but I didn't notice any difference in Chrome. I did however notice a difference with everything else in Windows... so turning it off for my web browser isn't really acceptable for me. As soon as this is fixed I'm |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | gxxxxn | 8/17/09 6:10 PM | This is not the monitor - the cause is the video driver. In particular Nvidia drivers do this things. I change video cards a lot, so I am well acquainted with the problem. And it Only happens on some Nvidia cards. |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | olhovsky | 10/31/09 11:24 PM | Notably, many people in this thread (including myself) experience blurry type in Chrome when fonts are set to 120DPI in windows. (I'm using Vista.) Setting fonts to the normal size fixes the problem in chrome, but now you are stuck with normal size f |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | garretwhitney | 11/11/09 2:51 PM | Google, where are you? This is a consistent problem that drives people away. I'm pleased with Chrome's speed, but can't use it till you fix this. |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | slimkris | 12/1/09 10:02 PM | Thank you CRITESJM. Running the Microsoft ClearType, did the trick in three easy steps. If anyone needs the URL its at: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | BuckFloot | 12/2/09 3:02 PM | I had the same problem, and solved it for my computer. It wasn't the ctrl+ or turn on Cleartype. I recently installed the Catalyst driver and I think this one changed "the display size of fonts and other objects" to 106% instead of 100%. When I chang |
| Re: Google Typeface "Fuzzy" -- needs to be clear | Nero-53 | 12/13/09 4:57 AM | I have the opposite problem. My fonts are all blocky and pixelated, but I want them smooth and blurry like in Safari. Any suggestions? |
