Pixelated font - Firefox for Windows

[Andre Raw]

Hi there, I created a custom icon font using the latest app, and got good results in all browsers but Firefox on Windows... Any way of solving that?

Here's the preview - http://codepen.io/anon/pen/hIeal

Hmm, they look fine for me. Are you seeing this issue on a virtual machine? In Firefox, enter "about:support" in the address bar. Under Graphics, check if DirectWrite is enabled.

Hi, thanks for the response! Indeed, it's a Windows 7 VM.

Enabling it solved the matter. But, is that an issue of a VM only? Or will most FF users have to enable DirectWrite to see smoother web fonts?

Thanks for your time!

DirectWrite is enabled by default in actual Windows machines. In virtual machines however, the browser may fail to recognize the GPU and it won't be able to use hardware acceleration, which is required for DirectWrite.
