Help with Google Chrome Fonts?

[zapnorok]

Hello HWZers,

My computer seems to have this problem of a thick and hazy kinda fonts, have done a lot of research and it doesn't seem to even help with it.

Thin fonts like the words 'hello' to the top right is okay,
however, bold fonts tend to be looking thick and weird.

Can someone help me out with this?

Thanks and much appreciated.

EVGA? Hmm, I tried to search it on my start, but it didn't seem to find anything on it.

* Are you saying it might be a graphic card software problem?

oh if u did not install evga precision before, then is different issue then...

can't u copy all the helvetica fonts out to another folder 1st before deleting? one post suggest "Helvetica Neue Noir Italique" cud be the conflict.

i wud try disabling directwrite 1st to see if it works, since no deletion reqd...

Yeah I did exactly that, copying the fonts first. Doesn't seem to work though.
Hold on let me post another zoomed in picture of the font issue.

I disabled, checked, and it doesn't work. Hmm, I don't seem to have that font on my computer.

I wonder how do they know which font the computer is choosing for the website. Hmm.
