Quick fix: New version of Google Chrome makes SharePoint look ugly

By Stefan Feenstra   /     Sep 18, 2014  /     SharePoint 2013  /  

Google released a new version of Google Chrome (version 37). This version makes SharePoint look ugly. It adds at some pages extra white space between links. And some text is now bold.
Chrome-DirectWrite-1
They changed the font rendering engine of Google Chrome in version 37 from GDI to DirectWrite. A temporary fix to change it back to GDI can be achieved with the following steps:

Step 1: Browse to chrome://flags

Step 2: Enable the “Disable DirectWrite” feature

Chrome-DirectWrite-2

Step 3: Restart browser and now everything should be normal again

Chrome-DirectWrite-3

It’s not a permanent solution. But maybe Google will fix this in the meantime.
