Solid Edge changed the font in browseers on some site

So I installed Solid Edge because I Use it in school, but when I opened browsers and went to some sites I normally use (not all of them) Solid Edge have somehow changed the font on those sites.

And I do not like that font it it changed in to.

I have tried changing the browser settings that have to do with fonts, but nothing changes.

 

Do anyone know a fix or workaround?

Nope, you didn't upload them, they are still on your machine. (localhost) Try using imgur or the insert media function on the forum.

 

In any case, I've found you're not the only one have issues with browser font and solid edge.

Might be due to a certain font being installed with Solid Edge that's causing issues.

 

Someone's suggested fix on reddit was to disable directwrite in your browser (chrome in this case), but the one with the problem had it already disabled, and by enabling it, it fixed his issue, so try that?

write this down in the address bar

and go deactivate/activate


Direct Write

and then restart chrome

I have seen that tread, it does not work, I am not using chrome. There is no "direct write" setting there in Opera.

 

and it does nothing in Vivaldi.

 

but the examples (if they work this time):

I'm looking at the before and after screens but... The main difference I can see is that the font is slightly smaller but still the same font? This shouldn't really affect your browsing experience?

Press CTRL and zoom in with the scroll wheel if you think it's too small.

Its slimmer, Blocky (seams like no AA or somthing). it is hard to read in like in articles where the texst isnt fat. (like it is in the pictures)

ITs super ugly. I want it fixed. So if anyone know a fix in Opera or Vivaldi, please share.

To edit flags in Vivaldi

vivaldi://flags

 

https://vivaldi.net/en-US/forum/vivaldi-browser/2237-font-rendering-in-vivaldi-is-an-issue

 

Though personally I can't find DirectWrite in that list(I use Vivaldi). Maybe a reset of those settings will work?

Seems like they have removed that settings in a update or something, because my laptop where I did install solidwrite did not have the setting, but on my desktop, where I did not install a update to Vivaldi yet did have the setting. strange.

 

resetting settings does not work.
