FM Fonts look strange after upgrading to Chrome 77
Last night Chrome upgraded to v77 and now all the fonts in FM look less smooth, more square and blocklike , than they did before.
Anyone else have the same problem? |

I think Google has recently made changes to the default fonts in Chrome, I am not very sensitive to such things (I grew up with the old green screens and can tolerate anything). If it bothers you, you can probably adjust the Chrome default font settings to achieve something more to your liking.

From googling and checking my settings I dont think the defaults have changed. And I cant imagine that FM wouldn't specify display elements for every item on the page.
I didnt get too deep into it but there are font css settings on the mesg list page. And I am now getting errors in the chrome console : Quote:

Odd, when I saw your original report, I specifically looked at the Chrome console and saw no errors. Which OS are you using? Have you tried opening an incognito window with extensions disabled to see if FastMail then looks different?

Fastmail looks fine to me with no font issues in Chrome 77.0.3865.75 (64-bit).

Google tells me Chrome has a new font rendering engine in 77 and some people find it harder to read . That said here are screenshots of the differences:
Chrome 76 : https://i.vgy.me/q2DPMp.png Chrome 77 : https://i.vgy.me/30OhWV.png I guess the bold fonts are bolder and therefore harder for me to read. |

I can't tell any difference (except for the slightly different width) unless I zoom it up to a large size. So I'm obviously not bothered by the change.
