Hi guys,

I have enabled directwrite for my Firefox however I realised that the fonts that it is showing is different from those in IE10.

Is this due to a setting in Firefox? Is it possible to achieve the kind of directwrite rendering that IE10 is providing?

I know this is weird but I do like the blurry fonts in IE10.

Heres a screenshot comparison: http://i.imgur.com/L5Of59z.png

If there are problems when hardware acceleration is enabled then try to tune the setting with this extension:

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.

Make sure that you have the latest version of the graphic display driver.
