Font Rendering Changes in Chrome

pheer 5391 Posts August 27 2014 23:42 GMT #1 Yesterday (Aug 26, 2014) Google released Chrome 37 and one of the changes is how fonts are rendered. If you think TL changed the font, it's because your Chrome finally updated and is using the new DirectWrite font rendering. This is good for large text but if you're someone like me that hates anything new (long live broodwar!!) then you might want to change it back. How to change it back: 1. Type chrome:flags in your URL bar. 2. Look for Disable DirectWrite Windows and click "Enable" 3. Restart Chrome. Ta-da! TL is back looking like normal.
