Blurry text in Windows 8

I did a clean Windows 8 RTM installation when it became available.

Blurry fonts rendering which has plagued the Preview versions remained.

It is particularly intense in IE10 and office in 2013.

No amount of adjustment with the clear Type tuner helps a lot.
I tried all of the fixes recommended as 'use software rendering instead of GPU rendering' check in IE10 and Office 2013 Options.
It makes absolutely no difference.

I installed Windows 8 on a completely different material to see if it was a graphics card problem. Poor font rendering was still there.

I'm currently dual-boot Windows 7 and 8 on the same PC. Fonts in Windows 7 are still perfectly clear. In windows 8, they are so bad, the OS is essentially unusable.

How can I get readable fonts in Windows 8?

Hardware: ASUS P8Z77 - V PRO, Intel Core i7 3770 K, ASUS Radeon HD7770 graphics, Samsung Syncmaster 2443BW-24 inch monitor.

Chrome 37.x go to chrome://flags and disable DirectWrite. It's the first thing I did with this update.

  • Windows 8 is my blurry text

    Upgrade to windows 8 and now have a blurry text in IE and other applications.

    Found a way to give feedback on the change in rendering technique.

    Go to this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/common/survey.aspx?scid=sw;en;1076

    On the basis of the investigation, there is a section where we can talk to them about the issue.

    This will probably be our best bet to get the text made better, or maybe even ClearType support for new products.

    Thanks to @WindowsSupport for the link.

  • How can I fix blurry text in Firefox 28?

    With 8.1 Windows and Firefox 27 I have set the blurry text by setting the pref gfx.content.azure.enabled false [...] on the subject: config. But this line is now missing in config. What is the fix now?

    See the 414 comment in bug 812695:

    Try this pref rather (topic: config-> right click: new > Boolean):

    • Layout.paint_rects_separately = true
  • Blurry text after adding a keyframe to css

    After you have added a text key frame tent, all text on the page in view is hazy on the loading of the page but brightened after the scroll of the framing out of sight area & is ok even return the marquee again in sight. I see the same thing on the tables, but once again the page to scroll it lightens. Do not see this problem with chrome. Obviously, the marquee affects Firefox text rendering but is there a solution for this?

    OK, the fact of the background scrolling solves the problem of blurry text. I can live with, but prefer a fixed background, almost all sites today fixed it, everything seems better as it so hoping that firefox will look to find how it can take into account the mode & keep solid text. That solved this issue, but not the problem. thx for the feedback.

  • 32BV500B - blurry text using the HDMI and PC connection

    Hello

    I currently use the 32BV500B as HDMI PC monitor.
    I would rename the entry 'PC' to allow the TV HDMI mode "pc" to correct a blurred text.
    I don't see any option to do this, use the menu system.

    Otherwise, how can I turn on the TV in the mode "PC"?

    I can confirm that I tried different HDMI cables and the blurry text only occurs via HDMI on 2 different computers.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It seems that the HDMI connection can be switched in PC mode.
    PC mode is available only for the VGA input.

    Please take a look at page 28
    http://www.Toshiba-OM.NET/LCD/PDF/English/Country_Specific/BV500-32-English-specific.PDF

    For switching source PC, press the "SOURCE" on your remote and select the PC input. You can also use the Source menu to switch to PC mode.
    Note that PC mode menu settings are only available when the TV is in the source PC.

    But if you have connected the PC to the HDMI port and the image is not clear enough, I recommend you to change the level of sharpness in the image menu.

  • How I can solve the problem with blurry text in Fireworks.

    Hello


    I built a site currently and I use Fireworks for my designs, I have is with the text, all look fuzzy or blurry text in the browser, I tried everything but no result. Please help me with this.


    There is here an example:

    For the small text that you have, you would be better using HTML/CSS.

    However... What I often do with text is to make an image of 2 or 4 times more large as I want (with a font size of 2 or 4 times larger), a version flattened export, then lower version flattened 50% or 25%, properly.

  • Blurry text web page Firefox

    When Internet Explorer web page screen text is clear. The same web page is blurry when you use Firefox (see table - text in the middle of the screen). Could you tell me how to fix it please.

    RESOLVED (weird but resolved)

    I had the same problem on my two PCs (one with Windows 7, the other with Windows XP). I tried the fixes above without success:

    • Zoom = zero
    • GFX. Direct2D.disabled = true
    • hardware acceleration = disabled

    I read that open without display correctly in Firefox 17.0 so I downloaded the portable version that I wanted to put two photos of the show (which one with 17.0 FF) and the other with FF 29,0 hoping to find help. (I did it on my Win7 PC)

    I started 17.0 FF, went to a page that has used without opens and I noticed that FF 17.0 actually display the fonts correctly. I took the snapshot and closed 17.0 FF. I then opened the same link and 29.0 FF to get the second snapshot... magically opened without displaying correctly in FF 29,0 too! (I restarted 29,0 FF and it still works).

    Current configuration is:

    • GFX. Direct2D.disabled = false
    • hardware acceleration = on

    After the launch (and then closed) 17.0 laptop FF had the question to 29,0 FF.

    Do not know why. Experts can help us understand.

  • HP Photosmart C4480 - blurry text when printing *.pdf

    Hi,

    I seem to be a common problem but can't seem to find a common solution. I have a printer [HP Photosmart C4480] who works well for ages. Now, however, seems to have problems printing pdf. As I said (or rather typed), This seems to be a common problem. In other sources on the internet, it is described as dark printed text or text that looks blurry (for example, here). It seems also the text is printed in a shade bluish the color of the font of the text itself is black. Just for the record:

    -J' restarted my computer. 3 times;

    -J' have 2 new hp original cartridge in the printer. The printer is aligned cleaned and everything;

    -L' printer is OK with other files (meaning not being not not *.pdf);

    -This isn't the files. They are ok. It's several files from several reliable sources (for example, my University) that all print sharp printers not HP. I would include a sample attachment, but I can't... O well. I'll add a link. You are here. (* Edit: link has been removed after the problem has been resolved).

    -The problem with the same printer on 5 consecutive laptops running Windows XP upwards and up to what Windows 8. All have the latest version of Adobe.

    -Adjustment of the color to print in black and white (only black and white) does not deny the problem.

    * Edit:-connected via USB.

    * Edit:-portable Test computer running Microsoft Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601).

    * Edit 2:-tried another cable USB (thanks for the suggestion Rich1!). Unfortunately, no results .

    * Edit 3:-problem solved partially. Software incompatibility between HP and Adobe. See the workaround. Only works for gray-scale printing.

    * Edit 4: Rich1 helped me to identify the problem. Seems that when printing the PDF files, the printer does not seem to use black ink and in turn simulates black by combining the primary colors (which gives all the quality of the results, where the blur). This problem also exists in Acrobat with Foxit substitution (for example).

    With sincere friendships.

    I think I've solved the problem, even though it may persist in color prints.

    HP, this seems to be a widespread between the printing software and Acrobat Reader problem. I suggest that you find a more permanent solution. First mention of the problem lies in 2008 and it is widespread, but you seem to be ignorant.

    As to the question.

    This question seems to raise its ugly head after an update to Acrobat Reader. Several sources confirm this. As is the case, software HP seems to be an incompatibility with Acrobat Reader. It sucks because it is the most popular format for sharing on the internet of documents.

    As for the solution.

    1. do not use any web application to print. Save the file. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader;

    2. open the print menu [file > print];

    3. click [Advanced] at the top right of the screen.

    4. under color management, check that box to the left of something to the effect of "let the printer choose colors". (I have an English version of the software Acrobat Reader installed, bear with me. Press [OK];

    5. to return to the main print window, go to the menu of [Properties] in the top right of the screen. It should be next to the menu advanced;

    6. in the Properties menu, select the [color] tab. Once there, select an item to the effect of "print in grayscale". Directly under this option must be a menu drop-down. In this menu, select "use only black ink. Press [OK];

    7 print the file. As long as you print in black and white, the focus should be good.

    Hope this helps someone else! If you like my solution, give this guy there Rich1 some kudo is such that at least he had the kindness to answer and help me solve this problem.

    Thank you!

  • Blurry text in the device as well as some other applications Manager.

    My system is an Alienware 15 R2 with graphics of 970 m.

    Initially, I was using the "display driver uninstaller" tool for cleaning re instillation of nvidea drivers because I had some display problems with older games. (Now I know that the program was not necessary)

    Then the display of all my programs are vague and very difficult to read. I tried another reinstall by using the display driver uninstall, but it crashed when rebooting in safe mode.

    Windows 10 required a soft & after instillation who did I had the same problems of blurred text.

    Technical support advised me to change the DPI scale

    www.tenforums.com/.../5990-DPI-scaling-level-displays-change-Windows-10-a.html

    & to change the plain text display

    www.tenforums.com/.../5990-DPI-scaling-level-displays-change-Windows-10-a.html

    It didn't work, but the strange thing is that a windows update fixed the problems for some programs, but not all. Steam & Google display correctly but Revit, Auto Cad & for some strange reason, my device manager are blurred.

    Here are a few screenshots to help diagnose the problem

    Tech support recommended 10 to win an ANOTHER re instillation, but I don't see how this could help.

    Hi - I recently got my XPS13 version QHD (9350). The first thing I noticed that was blurry Device Manager as OP. Some windows are also very small. I need almost a magnifying glass to read. Y at - it any resolution to this?

    Of course, the appropriate display drivers must be installed correctly.
    In the Control Panel, set the display resolution to the (full) native resolution of the display panel. Who takes care of the "fuzzy". Always leave it like that.
    To provide superior, do you it in a different place. You can adjust the scale to the top of 100%.

    Oh, go ahead. Read the messages the wire, this is not a driver problem, making the scale or resolution. The blur is due to legacy applications not scaling properly, that's why the Device Manager seems to blur, but not the modern control panel interfaces (metro).

  • using 3.1 the text line/window - change of placement?

    I'm getting used to 3.1 number compared to numbers 1.0.3, which I have worked for years. Why most upgrades of Apple want to damage?

    In the earlier version, as you type in a cell, what you type appears in a sort of window/line of text just above your worksheet. A great advantage in that, in addition to visibility, is that you have the choice of your data of the edition cell by typing either in the cell or in the window/line of text. My databases are more text than the numbers; the enormous advantage of the text window is you do not need mouse around the actual cell to add or change, and you can see the content on a single line.

    In point 3.1, the same "window" appears, but it's at the bottom of the worksheet. This course, it is much less visible, and there doesn't seem to be changed somehow. This forces you to work every bit of change within the cell.

    Issues related to the:

    1 can you change the placement of this window of text to point 3.1, so that it is at the top?

    2. is there a way to add or modify data without work inside the cell? I can't believe that apple gave to the functionality of this editing window. But then again, it was an 'upgrade '.

    Thank you!

    (1) NO.

    (2) NO.

    Motivation of apples was more likely to make the numbers on Mac OS X and numbers on iOS have a common interface.  I'm not justify whatever it is just assuming that.  That said, you can post your comments to Apple using the menu item "numbers > provide Feedback numbers" AND you can use the 2.x version number (unless you have uninstalled it).

    Numbers of 2.x is located in the folder "/ Applications/iWork ' 09.
