Jernlov Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I didn't notice any changes to the font. On any of my computers.Your display(s) might handle it better than my £90 TN panel. For me the fonts were overhinted and red-tinged, not to mention blurry. Grabbing comparison screenshots now though. Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernlov Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Top: Acceleration enabledBotton: Acceleration disabled Pretty marked difference for me. The weird thing is it's not as horrible as I remember it being, but it still feels out of focus. Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I don't see much difference between those screenshots, I guess the screenshot doesn't catch it :S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It depends if you use cleartype (clearfont?) to smooth out the font. With hardware acceleration on, the font is just white pixels, but with it off it has several blue/red/green ones around it to make it look clearer to the eye. ^this is wrong. For some reason it just makes the font thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernlov Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah. I find the top one really hard to read. Supposedly it's an improvement in font rendering but it still doesn't have anything on GNU/Linux and OSX font rendering. It's a new technology for Windows though, so we'll probably see various improvements in the future. Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohkmj1 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 From Cracked: The one on the left is Firefox 4, the one on the right is Google Chrome (which had the same font style as Firefox 3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Since I'm still running XP Pro, IE9 is not an option. I use Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE8 (but mostly Firefox).

PlzPuddngPlz Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Seeing as this isn't off the first page, I'll assume it's ok to bump it. Anyhow, Tom's Hardware just compared the two, along with Chrome, Safari and Opera. Link.IE9 won, but they have a little explanation at the bottom for those Firefox types. Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it.

jasignhagj Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Did IE9 finally add the ability to drag tabs to other windows and highlighted text and images to other programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARN Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Did IE9 finally add the ability to drag tabs to other windows and highlighted text and images to other programs? Yes, you can drag tabs to other windows so long as both are not pinned sites. Highlighted text and images to other programs is just using the clipboard as always.
