I tweaked my Firefox configs to get better font rendering because I hate how "skinny" they are by default on windows. The options changed are:

  • gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode to 5
  • gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families to ""
  • gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.enhanced_contrast to 100
  • gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.cleartype_level to 100
  • gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.pixel_structure to 1
  • gfx.webrender.quality.force-subpixel-aa-where-possible to true

After the update, the fonts are default again, and no matter how much I change the configs, it doesn't change anything.

I'm not sure how that is supposed to help me with the configs not being applied.
