Awful font rendering in Firefox 135 on Windows
2025-02-05 by , tagged as
I felt the need to post this after I updated my Firefox and saw that the fonts changed unexpectedly, as if I were using Linux.
In case you're someone like me who really hates this type of font rendering (and are using Windows), just do this:
Go to about:config in your Firefox search bar, accept the warning and add these values:
- "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" = "Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana"
- "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size" = "15"
Now restart your browser and voila, fonts are looking the same as before.
Thanks u/VoidYahweh for leaving a comment with the solution of this. I didn't know these changes were made literally 4 months ago. I don't know why Mozilla haven't made at least an annoucement about that in their changelogs.
