More Computer Frustrations - re Display Font

Going to Device Manager, the Roll Back Driver button is grayed out.

If this problem did not occur after an update, there are typically 2 ways to resolve the display font problem.

1) check ClearType setting
2) restore to Default (in general, I really don't recommend doing this first because it might introduce other problems if you've made other system changes in the past)

For (1):
-- open Control Panel app (you can search for "Control Panel" in Windows search)
-- click on Fonts (you may have to change the listing from category to icons to find "Fonts")
-- click on "Adjust ClearType text" on the left
-- make sure "Turn on ClearType" is toggle on

Let me know if that doesn't work, and we will try 2nd option.

Ah, so. The ClearType box was not checked. I check marked it and did the 5 screens of “choose the text that looks the best,” and (almost) everything is better. I still have the blobby heading text on FB, but I can live with that.

Thanks again, k.

No. Still blobby.

To distinguish a system problem from a browser problem, use a different browser and see if the problem exists for both browsers.

OK, then it's probably the app font over-ride setting in Windows. I've been assuming your were using Windows 10, yes?

To let Windows over-ride app font settings ():

-- in Windows search box type "appearance"
-- click on "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows"
-- toggle on "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer"
(normally all the toggle boxes are on EXCEPT for "Save taskbar thumbnail previews" and "Show shadows under mouse pointer")

If that doesn't work, we are heading toward the road of diminishing returns and it may be easier to simply put the Windows font settings back to default -- hopefully you haven't personalized too many font settings in your apps.

To reset Windows fonts back to default:
-- open Control Panel app (you can search for "Control Panel" in Windows search)
-- click on Fonts (you may have to change the listing from category to icons to find "Fonts")
-- click on "Font Settings" on the left
-- click on the gray "Restore default font settings" button

Meanwhile, I'll drink a to make sure one of those works.
