Mac OS X Mojave Font thinner on Chrome - how to fix?

Question

Every font is thinner on Mac OS X Mojave on Chrome. See references like ( here or here ).

That is my main problem and I need your suggestions what to do. I'm currently developing a website, but now the design looks way off. On Safari it's okay. But should I "wait" until there is a fix?

The reason is that they removed subpixel font aliasing.

What does this mean for a CSS developer?

Is there a fix somehow?

Answer 1

在终端中尝试此命令：

defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO

Answer 2

An easy fix I discovered was to disable the font smoothing disabler.

All you have to do is open up your Terminal application ( COMMAND (⌘) + SPACE then search for Terminal) and run the following command.

defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO

Here, I made a nice image of entering this thing in my terminal:

EXPLANATION :

We are switching off the disabler which is disabling the font smoothing process on non-retina screens. In simple words enabling the font smoothing.

🙌 I wrote more details about how I found this setting in the fix macOS font post.

NEXT STEPS :

I recommend you restart your computer now, but logging out and in should fix it.

You can also Log out with COMAND (⌘) + SHIFT (⇧) + Q .
