Distorted Text in Webpages

Hi everyone,

 

So I am getting some oddly rendered text on webpages. Even the text I am currently typing is distorted, unevenly spaced, and just looks bad. It only appears to be certain fonts, which leads me to believe that I have a corrupted font somewhere or another. I tried clearing my font folder and pulling the default Windows 10 fonts from another PC, but I am having the same problem still. I have included a screenshot of the LinusTechTips home page so that you can see what I mean.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

EDITED: To include a screenshot of original post, which is a better example.

Have you updated your drivers to the recent version and have used ClearType text tuner if you are running windows?

Everything is up to date. ClearType is tuned.

Tried zooming in or changing the resolution? It can happen...

Resolutions are native. Zoom is 100%.

 

This only happens with certain websites and what looks like certain fonts. It is not system wide - just browsers.

Have you kept your browser up to date and have no conflicting addons installed with your browser?

Happens across Firefox, IE, Edge, Chrome, and Canary. Addons or not, still happens.
