Text not displaying properly

[patseguin Global Moderator]

I'm not sure this is a hardware issue, but it might have to be. I haven't always had this issue at work. On certain websites, text is almost totally unreadable because it is so light. I'm using Edge Insider Beta, and tried Chrome and Firefox and all 3 do it. ANyone know what might be going on?

If all 3 browsers are doing it then I would look at the display drivers, check if there is an update. Barring that, maybe its an Windows Accessibly setting, or clear type I think it's called?

Can you take a look at the CSS and see what font(s) the site is using? I wonder if the site is using a font that's not on your system and they aren't sending the font info to the browser and Windows is doing it's best to find a match.

I'd clear your cookies and other stuff. It might have had a site upgrade that doesn't use the same font that it had recently.

It's not just that website. It's weird. I went on another computer in the office with the same widescreen display and it looked fine. I'm looking at a few of the pages on my home PC and it's fine too. I installed the nVidia P400 driver and it didn't make any difference.

There a difference between Window versions? Between work and home?
