The fonts from Facebook in Chrome (only Chrome) are not displayed correctly. This happens on only two computers on my home network.

All computers have Chrome 37.0.2062.103 m.

I have Windows 8 and the fonts are ok enter image description here

The other two computers have Windows 7 and they look like this enter image description here

What I have done so far:

  • read the other questions :)
  • uninstall chrome and deleted all the files related to chrome
  • reinstalled chrome
  • Control Panel -> Fonts -> Font Settings -> Restore Default Font Settings

  • The obvious solution is to disable `DirectWrite`. As for the reason thats simple the systems have different hardware. I also don't notice a huge difference myself. – Ramhound Sep 05 '14 at 18:46

I highly suspect that this is a hardware conflict with DirectWrite which was introduce in Chrome version 37. I would try and disable DirectWrite to see if that makes any difference.

I have provided Pankaj's answer below as a reference

In order to disable DirectWrite.

Go to address bar and type chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write. There you will see the option to disable DirectWrite.
