Display/Font differences in HTML5 vs Windows option

Post by netsammatt » Wed Apr 01, 2015 8:18 am

When running an application with the Windows option, we notice a poorer display than when running the same application with the HTML5 option.
What setting changes can be made so that the Windows option display is same as HTML5 option?

Fonts will always render slightly different in different browsers, there isn't any way of getting around that unless you use images or a javascript solution. One popular solution is typeface.js.

I'd recommend reading up on typeface and doing some research into other solutions and try one.

When compared to HTML4, HTML5 aims to be more of an application development platform, which includes not only laying out text and images, but also playing video and audio, interactive 2d and 3d graphics, storing data in the application, dealing with online and offline access to data, and real-time networking protocols for exchanging data as it happens. Both of these are used to in web programming today, although thinking about the future, using HTML5 is suggested.

You could try to increase the color to 32bits.
It may depend on hdpi screen and browsers begin to scale picture creating blurry image, but it is not the case where you can automatically improve the quality. In such case I reset browser to 100% zoom level. Possibly it is the case by you. Sometimes the browsers set zoom on hdpi screens to higher values than 100%, so just reset it to 100%
And the pictures you attached seem to be broken (contain html code of this phpBB tree)

PS: in next version you get the option to disable font smoothing that cause the server to make fonts blurry.
