Yu Gothic is much thinner and fuzzier than Edge/Gecko |
|||||||||||
Issue descriptionYu Gothic is thinner and fuzzier than Edge/Gecko. Thin and fuzzy rendering of this font has more impact than other cases because: 1. Win10 made this as the default Japanese font. 2. This is the only Japanese font installed on non-Japanese version of Win10 (MS Gothic was added back later, but it's a legacy font with inferior quality.) Several web developer blogged that they started using "font-weight:500" only for Chrome to avoid this problem. Screenshots attached: Chrome, Edge, Firefox from left, hi-res and low-res. HTML is also attached, or at http://output.jsbin.com/heneyo

Chrome is much worse in hi-DPI. Does this indicate something?

It has been like this for quite a while, since Win 8 iirc. The font rendering on Win 7 is also inferior than Firefox, but close. And as a side note, also starting from Win 8 (8.1), Microsoft's pre-installed applications don't use clear-type any more for better support to rotatable devices (such as tablet), since ClearType exploits RGB order of pixels in the monitor, which is not consistent when rotating. That explains why Edge doesn't use ClearType. I attached another image for SimSun, which is not the default font for *Windows* since Win 7 but for some who-knows-why reasons, Chrome still use it as default Simplified Chinese interface font (any chance to fix that any soon? issue 587072 ), so it affects lots of people, too. Also, is my previous issue helpful or related to this one? I think we're talking about the same thing. Issue 534732 And there is a "work-around" in Chrome extension store, may be worth a look: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/font-rendering-enhancer/hmbmmdjlcdediglgfcdkhinjdelkiock
