OT - Font display in Google changed?

Post by Guenther »

Sorry for being off topic, but just yesterday I noticed that something didn't look right in my GoogleSheets.

It seems that suddenly a few fonts there look extremely shitty on my hardware at least.
I have not updated my graphics driver and it seems FF also is not the issue, because
the display of some of my other websites with those fonts look normal.

It is mainly 'Tahoma' and may be also 'Verdana' (not as crappy).
For this reason I have changed all Tahoma to OpenSans in the XB/UCI chronology right now.
But well, I have dozens of sheets there with mostly Tahoma chosen...

May be I have to fiddle again with anti-aliasing options and other settings - arghh.

I just opened your message out of curiosity, because you are since your first day on my foe list.
Thanks for reassuring me.

I couldn't care less for the 'google homepage' - if you try to read again, you might grasp that my message was about google sheets/docs etc.
Bye again forever. Never seen a more stupid answer before.
