The behavior is identical on both Windows and Linux (both X11 and Wayland) and on Intel HD 4000 based laptop and a Radeon RX570 desktop PC. Is rendering subpixel text a taxing thing for modern CPU and GPUs? I failed to find the reason behind this behavior. I read on bugzilla somewhere that turning -disable-sacrificing-subpixel-aa to true should solve it, but it doesn't do anything. I noticed text on articles at Ars Technica sometimes change to grayscale and the messenger window on facebook is grayscale for several seconds and then turns to subpixel magically. It uses grayscale filtering in several areas of the UI (inactive tabs, active address bar), other areas of the UI switch between grayscale and subpixel when scrolling (longer menus, like if you have many bookmarks - scrolling will disable subpixel filtering but only for a few seconds) and websites. Webrender seems to do whatever it wants with fonts. Thanks for the info, I did not know this. You can remove all the fonts from this list to make all fonts use DirectWrite and be a bit closer to Chromium - however, keep in mind that Firefox uses different contrast values for letters than Chromium and they all will look slightly different (darker and thicker). Remove SegoeUI from the list and restart Firefox. You can change that in about:config - find gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families and there you will see a list of fonts with classic rendering. Firefox renders this font with classic ClearType to make it look the same as everywhere else in the OS. There are some different letters between small letters and big letters. There are 2 fonts in this pico font family-Pic black, Pico white. Pico font family was designed by Maniackers Design. Twitter uses Segoe UI on Windows, the same font Windows uses for its GUI. The Font which is used to design the Twitter logo is Pico black. Also, when Firefox 4 was introduced, people complained about blurry fonts). Firefox disables DirectWrite for several fonts because the developers thought it differs too much from ClearType (among other things - the other reason might have had something to do with how some older font faces deal with kerning and hinting. The Twitter logo was designed using the font Pico. It appeared in July 2006 when Evan Williams, Biz Stone, Noah Glass and Jack Dorsey presented the final version of the social network for posting short notes. Chrome uses DirectWrite everywhere, including the UI (that's why the font in the menus looks slightly different, thinner, than in the rest of Windows). It allows you to publish the so-called tweets of up to 140 characters. However, there has been no change to the non-western language.There are two methods of subpixel font antialiasing - GDI ClearType and DirectWrite. The changes will now align the texts of western language to the left making it easier for the users to read them while scrolling. The social media giant had introduced the new font in January this year but the final rollout was done on August 11. The company introduced Chirp in January this year but the final rollout was done on August 11.Īnnouncing the rollout in a thread, Twitter said that while the new changes may appear awkward at first, they were intended to make the website more accessible unique and focused on what users want.

Among many minor tweaks in the designs and layout, Twitter also rolled out its new font ‘Chirp’. Users shared their funny reactions and took a dig at the social media giant for bringing in the unwarranted change. People argued that the change was not required and literally no one had asked for it. So, when Twitter decided to bring new updates in its mobile and desktop website’s layouts, not many were impressed. Changes are difficult to adapt to, especially if everything was going smooth previously.
