There's not much in it, though they're both nice. (MS core fonts? I can't remember.) It seems to work better with the -lcd patches than the similar Luxi Sans, which I preferred under Cleartype and without subpixel hinting. Another common recommendation is to reduce (or turn off) hinting on bold weights, and I can see the point in that: I'm not entirely happy with the way bold fonts are rendered. I know some people recommend medium hinting rather than full, but I don't like half measures. With LCD panels, where the display fits the screen exactly and is perfectly flat, it's not that difficult. I think it's really worth figuring this out for yourself if it's not automatically detected. ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/nf /etc/fonts/conf.d/nfĪt this point if you think fonts look too bold, modify the fonts configuration file: edit (or create if it doesn't exist yet) the file ~/.nf with the following content:Ĩ6 dpi is correct for my monitor (19" 1280x1024). Install the package freetype2-lcd downloaded from AUR and compiled with "makepkg":

These changes are currently exclusive to Edge, but Microsoft will bring them to Chromium so all Chromium-based browsers like Chrome will have support for consistent font rendering.After having done this I cannot see Windows fonts anymore. If you can’t wait, however, can test it manually by enabling the flag. The feature will be rolled out gradually and some users will probably get the feature sooner than others. To achieve this you can use GDI++, which is an application that renders the fonts on Windows applications with GDI instead of the typical ClearType. While a precise release date has not yet been announced for the stable channel, Microsoft is currently planning to introduce the improved font rendering gradually with Edge 92+.

Enable the flag “Enhance text contrast”Īfter enabling the experimental flag, you can also launch ClearType Tuner to configure the advanced settings. Are there any settings for ClearType (like on Windows) but on Big Sur Some fonts on the screen looks pretty bad and im trying to find a way to fix this.The changes are already live in Microsoft Edge Canary and users can enable the “Enhance text contrast” mode by following these steps: Microsoft is finally planning to return to legacy’s Edge font rendering approach and Chromium Edge will soon feature improved contrast enhancement and gamma correction.
