Force font in Google Chrome?

Postby jaywag » Sun Jun 21, 2009 9:26 pm

Hello,

Is there a way to force all fonts on a webpage to a particular font in Google Chrome? Right now, that's the only thing keeping me with Firefox at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

Why would you want to do that?

Because of Windows' crappy font rendering.

I have fonts on here that our company uses that look fine where I need to use them in Word and Powerpoint. But they render like crap on the companies' website in browsers, along with a few other websites that use fonts that I've had to install along the way.

In Firefox, I just force it to render all fonts as Tahoma. Solves the problem there. But while I can set the default font in Chrome to a particular font in the event that the font isn't specified, I can't force all webpages to use it.

I'd like to ditch Firefox, as the speed of Chrome appears to be blazingly fast compared to Firefox, but I can't deal with the font issues.

Do you have cleartype turned on? (google it)
I blame the limitations of plain text!
