RadishTM Veteran Posted December 17, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2013 Flag changed from --direct-write to --enable-direct-write , so try new one. Its landing bits by bits.. First they will add initial Direct Write support in their Skia library, remove Web Fonts usages... Bits by bits. I am also interested in this support, so I post every changelog related to it in here.. Follow up this thread... :) Cool, will try the new flag later and I'm always keeping an eye on this thread just for DirectWrite support, lol +Zlip792 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroos Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I really hope DirectWrite remains an option on Windows 8+ and won't be forced. ClearType is much, much better for displays without high DPI that don't rotate since it uses subpixel AA while DirectWrite on 8 and up uses grayscale AA.

+Zlip792 MVC Posted January 8, 2014 MVC Share Posted January 8, 2014 Another update (following up from comment #109): --enable-direct-write now turns on subpixel font scaling, so no need to use the --enable-experimental-web-platform-features flag. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
