Force Chrome and Opera to ignore ClearType settings

    Is there any way possible to force those 2 browsers to render fronts in a proper way ?

    Right now Internet Explorer 6 is renders web fonts far better then Chrome and Opera . I'm sure there is a technique to tell them they're doing it wrong , I just can't pull it out of the top of my head .

    Any help will be appreciated .

    You expect to get an answer for this on DP? Hah! You're dumber than I thought. And that's pretty dumb. Especially when you try and blame the browser for text rendering when the browser is using the OS's rendering engine to do that. Don't blame FF and Chrome. Blame Windows for locking them out.

    You're being a dumbo troll as usual :eek: I'm not blaming Firefox , if you had eyes you would have seen that I wast talking about good old Opera and Chrome . Both Firefox and IE have the best font engine . Also DP has a few experts that roam around , just that most of don't care or only pop in to buys/sell something .

    Thanks for the help I was able to find out a link in the first article that Opera will use DirectWrite in version 12 and that will fix the font issue . If only Chrome will move it's butt and enable the proper settings everything would be peachy .
