Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10575.55.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.87 Safari/537.36 Platform: 10575.55.0 (Official Build) stable-channel wolf Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Visit any website that contains Thai language 2. Example: https://translate.google.com/#en/th/hello%20how%20are%20you%20today%3F What is the expected behavior? The way Thai fonts where displayed on ChromeOS 64 and below. What went wrong? Thai fonts should be displayed in a classical legible format, this was the case in Chrome OS 64 and below, after Chrome OS 65 Thai fonts are displayed in a modernized illegible format, which is mostly used for newspaper headlines. This type of font should not be used in general, there are no issues in using chrome on Windows/Mac/Linux etc, just on chrome OS chromebook. See attached screenshot. Did this work before? Yes 64 Chrome version: 67.0.3396.87 Channel: stable OS Version: 10575.55.0 Flash Version: 30.0.0.113 Related: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/fLq7zK4yul8 https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/TaoRCpXoFUg https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/1049 https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/7y5lty/need_help_to_change_default_fonts_for_specific/

As a fellow Thai, I would like to express my agreement with the original reporter's view that the new Noto Sans Thai font reduces readability by a lot and would like the original font to be restored. Circle-less fonts should only be used for decorative purposes (e.g. headlines) and should not be a standard san-serif font.

This is about the default fonts used in ChromeOS, not blink font rendering. Reassigning. |
