[Fix] Chrome DirectWrite support page rendering issue

[amjath]

People who received latest update precisely Version 37.0.2062.94 m for google chrome, may see some weird webpage rendering issue more like zoomed out page or big font issue.

Well it is feature added by google in the latest version of chrome called DirectWrite support for Windows which respects Windows DPI scaling.

If anyone think it looks weird [like me] then here is a fix from a guy called 2008dion [all credits to him and ESINER ] source link below

well here is the fix

Go to your Chrome shortcut's properties (right click Chrome icon, go to Properties). Then in the "Target:" field, add
/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
right after the closing quotation marks currently in that field. Make sure there's a space right after the closing quotation before you input the new text.
Click Apply , Restart Chrome.

For example

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1

BTW people can check out the new chrome 64 bit browser

An update to this fix:
This fix will run only the shortcut which you have modified. If your browser launched by a external link, then the directwrite support enabled and browser renders according to your windows DPI setting.

There are few other fix which I tried is not working, so will keep posted when I come across a valid fix

Sorry to say this but if a popular browser such as chrome have to be used using "fixes", it ain't worth using.
I advice switching to another browser until Google fixes this issue itself.

I use Torch. It is like Chrome, but better. Has built-in media downloader. Works most of the time.

chrome uses more RAM anyways..

firefox is good for this reason. when i play bf3 with battlelog, it takes up a hell lot of RAM and opens up 7-9 processes.

although i havent faced this DPI issue.

Bumping this thread to tell you guys that Google fixed this issue, so no fix needed
