Hi All,

In certain pages, especially eBay and Yahoo Mail the bold font rendered with Hardware Acceleration ON looks horrible. Please see attached screenshot.

But when Hardware Acceleration is Switched Off the bold fonts are rendered nicely.

How to fix this issue without disabling Hardware Acceleration?

Cheers.
