Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

My Puppy Chrome browser fonts were terrible. I tried setting Custom Fonts
(under Settings/Appearance), but sites overrode them. I tried several
extensions without success.
Then I installed Force Custom Fonts extension & set just the Default Font in it
to my Custom Default (Deja Vu Sans 14) - every website I've tried now uses it,
without any further input. Can be changed again with a few mouse clicks.
I do note that some icons (i.e. on this page) render as blocks.

Hi ozsouth
I imagine your problem is that the chrome fonts look pixelated, right?
If so, the problem is not in chrome, it is in puppy, that means you don't have the fonts installed that chrome uses ...
Check what type of fonts Chrome uses, download them from the internet for free and just unzip them inside the / usr / share / fonts / default / TTF folder, if I'm not mistaken and you will have solved that detail
maybe after doing this you need to restart x or restart the pc

this already happened to me and this is how I fixed my problem
I hope this is the solution you need

Thanks for that. I installed Noto Sans & Noto Serif, which improved font display on a number of sites. I also turned off antialiasing (removed script) & turned on sub-pixel rendering (borrowed local.conf from fossapup) which helped too.
