Question

Font in Chrome different on two laptops- same settings

Aug 28, 2018 4:54AM PDT

I have a HP and and Asus Laptop. On the HP laptop, when I open Chrome and browse website, I have a clear and readable font. But on the Asus laptop, it is not clear. I have gone to the font settings in Chrome and made the fonts the exact same. Still no difference.

- Native resolution on the ASUS ?
- Same settings for cleartype in Windows ?
- Only in Chrome (so not in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Bing and other programs)?

The fact these are two different machines, the hardware will give different results.

Try ClearType's tuner on the machine with the less than great font.
