RF Font

[JustGeorge]

My old computer is no more, and I've taken over one the kids had but seldom used.

It works fine, but the font on the internet(with RF in particular) is awful, and I struggle to read it. (Though, interestingly, the font in the 'reply' slot is fine, its just when its entered into the site that it gets thick and blurry.)

Any ideas on how to fix this?

(Please be patient with me, I have the tech know-how of your average 93 year old.)

Well, you've made me aware there are no speakers...

 

[JustGeorge]

change font on google chrome - Google Search

I've found that part, but it seems it doesn't apply. Maybe I need to reboot...

Rebooting didn't work.

But I did find a speaker.

I think asking a child may solve the problem...

Try this...

Now that I've got a speaker...

I'm struggling to figure out which one is the one that's connected to the websites.

The font on the window itself is fine, its just the font on the websites that looks funky.

Like the RF red flag has been almost completely taken over by the number... its all proportioned weird.

I think asking a child may solve the problem...

Sadly, oldest isn't home...

I customized it and set it all to Arial...

And no font change on RF(or other sites). But I did figure out how to make the flag numeral smaller.

Now I see why my oldest threw his computer out the window. Clearly, that is the answer here.

It's the browser font that needs changed, then. Hang on and I'll see what I can find.

Go to advanced system settings. Click the settings button in the performance group. Check the box for "Smooth edges of screen fonts" Restart computer and your fonts will be back to normal.

Why do fonts appear jagged in Chrome?

An easier fix would be to buy a Mac.

That worked! Thank you!

Unfortunately, I was stuck with what I could dig up out of the toy room.
