This is full vs slight hinting. Its hard to say if there is even a difference. I zoomed in as well.
I think Chrome might be ignoring any setting I put other than font size :shrug:

I think I have found the issue.. Its seems chrome on Linux is adding more "bold" and "font weight" than in windows :shrug:
Both these in Linux, I just removed the weight and bold css and it looks way sharper now.
NOTE I only changed "exxos" and the thread page numbers...

"Font weight" off and on... almost no difference, BUT in linux chrome is WAY different :pullhair:

So, the Linux systems are taking note of the font weight and Windows isn't. Sounds like a bug in the Windows rendering to me.

Windows is, just Linux does it like x10 more. It's also looking fine on Android. So seems like Linux Chrome has the bug to me.
I'll have to do another forum type template to behave in Linux :roll: But that be a pain as I am switching between Windows and Linux, id have to swap it every time :roll: It's all becoming a huge time sink and I can't mess with stuff on the PC like I could used to because of my RSI :(

I was reading something about the droid font for Linux but I could not specifically find it. So I wonder if I am just simply missing a font somewhere :shrug:

Oh I done it :shrug:
Think only thing which I did which made any odds was..
Though I installed a lot of font packs yesterdays :shrug:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Just gotta work out why "exxos" is to bold now..
EDIT:
Seems its "supposed" to be like it is now. Though at least its a bit more like "normal" now. :)
