I then tried the same solution in Internet Explorer and it too started to display the fonts properly.
I closed and opened the browser and the fonts were displayed normally. The results were similar whether InPrivate browsing was turned on or not.Ĭompare the above screen to the screenshot below to see what it is supposed to look like.Īfter looking into the obvious areas like drivers for my video card, screen resolution, and other video-related settings I decided to disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox and it did the trick. This is the default page when you turn on InPrivate browsing. Here’s an example of the screen from Internet Explorer where the fonts were messed up. Before you do that, at least try my solution first :).Īs I mentioned earlier, the problem was both in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. No, there is no need to run to your doctor and have your eyes checked. Refreshing the screen simply shuffled things around and made some other section of the page unreadable, like the heading section. Simply by highlighting the first character I can read the entire sentence. Compare the screenshot below with the screenshot above to see the difference. I noticed that if highlight a character at the beginning of the line then I can read the rest of the sentence.
