I hope this is the correct place to ask a question like this.

Recently, my Firefox (39.0 on Windows Seven) stopped antialiasing texts.

(I provide links instead of uploading to the site as it seems it's a bit antialiased if I do).

On IE it is perfectly okay and looks like this:

I have searched for some parameter in the options but have found nothing that seems relevant.

How can I resolve this?

[EDIT] If you edit, Please DON'T add the images because (as I already stated), they get antialiased on the site!

  • Are you sure this is caused by aliasing?

  • I'm sure this is caused by antialiasing isn't present. If you look closely (zoom in a lot), the first image has only black and white pixels, the second one have a whole range of gray colors.

Looks like cleartype is disabled. Search for cleartype in windows search in your start menu, and verify that cleartype is turned on.

  • Hey man that did the trick! I guess I accidentally disabled cleartypes when I messed with optimisations (removing those annoying window zoom-dezoom stuffs and so), thanks!
