Different display on Windows Chrome and Firefox

[krissik]

We have recently updated from old "Source Sans Pro" to "Source Sans 3" and noticed that the new font renders very blurry on windows with chrome. On windows and firefox as well on linux and chrome it looks great.

The screenshot shows the same page opened on windows with chrome and firefox. On chrome the font is blurred and weak and because of that bad to read.

Is there a way to improve the readability in chrome?

It costs them nothing to integrate ttfautohint as a build-process step

@krissik I am assuming that you are using the TT fonts? Can you confirm? I am currently working on a patch that adds automated hinting to the TT fonts.
@fitojb time costs are still costs.

Yes, I can confirm.

@krissik I have updated the TT fonts to the auto-hinted versions in the binary downloads for the latest release.
Please have a test and see if you get, better results with the updated fonts and report back.

@krissik have you tried the updated fonts as noted in the message above from 5 days ago?

[krissik]

Yes, we have tried it. It is still blurry :-(

@krissik from your image I see very small difference. have you tried using the next weight up to see if the rendering is better? btw, what weight is this you are showing? Is it the regular?
