Font Windows 8.1

I don't see the problem. Can you explain what is wrong with the font?

Maybe post a screen capture of the same stuff from Firefox so I can see the difference?

If it's a Chrome only problem, try completely uninstalling Chrome, including user data, then download and reinstall it.

Thanks for your reply.

The issue is also happening on Firefox.

Can you go on RedCafe.net and look at the text there? What you will see on your screen is how it should be displayed on mine. I have no idea why my font has become "fine".

I have a similar issue. I'm a CPA and the tax software is affected by this font change. Looks like it started after the patches were installed from Windows 8.1 update. uploadfromtaptalk1426297302581.jpg

I don't see a problem with your font either. Are you seeing a problem with the font type or it's presentation? Have you tried adjust clear type and calibrate color to set your gamma? does your monitor have it's own calibration settings?

What exactly is the problem with the font? Is it too small? I cannot understand what you mean that there's something wrong with the font. I can read the text, there is no choppiness in the text.
1) Right click Desktop -> Screen Resolution -> Change Resolution to a smaller number x number.
2) While the Desktop/Folder is active, hold down Ctrl & scroll up/down to increase/decrease the size of text and icons.

Can you go to RedCafe.net and look at the font and compare it to the first picture in the OP? My font settings on my computer have suddenly messed up and don't look the same as before...

1) The font on my computer is bigger.. and
2) The Red Text in yours is Bold, yet the fifth one down (the pics one) is not bold.

What else do you see?

It's bold on my end because I'm signed in, but the way your is displayed is how mine should display. I don't know why my font has changed. And I've tried a lot of things to revert back to the old style.

So you're saying the size of your font is smaller? I just did a little something to verify to see if that's what you're talking about. Look at this new picture. Does it look like yours now?

If so.. I'm using Google Chrome. Go to the website, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard, and while holding it down, scroll up with your mouse. Depends what browser you're using.
