Not impressed with the latest Google update. :( (1 Viewer)

Everything appears to be in bold and a god awful font.
Xero have done pretty much the same on their bills page.

Presumably this is the latest trendy interface as far as these developers are concerned.

Are you sure this isn't an MS thing after their removal/replacement of Calibri as the standard variable width font?

No, was that on everthing? My works computer Chrome was fine yesterday?
I will check windows and chrome versions on both.

 

[cheekybuddha]

You can check the Chrome settings for which font is set for variable-width font (default, or something specific) - perhaps it's different at home and at work?

(Blind leading the blind here, I use neither Windows nor Chrome!)

Desktop
Chrome Version 118.0.5993.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Laptop
Chrome Version 118.0.5993.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)

So could well be the O/S :-(

Thanks for the heads up

Now trying to find out how to set the default font in windows.
My Access, Excel and Word are fine as well?

 

[Gasman]

Tried applying the reg file below, with no change. Fonts on both PCs for Chrome are the same.

I have to go out now, but more experimenting over the weekend.

This is my laptop

and this is my desktop

with this due to install.

However none of those mention anything about new fonts?
Have not restarted the desktop yet.

 

[Gasman]

It appears to be windows and making a right mess of it.
Same excel worbook, two different sheets

 

[Gasman]

Not sure what is going on now.
I accepted the updates for the desktop, the two that were missing that were on the laptop and installed recently, but font remains the same on the desktop. Only difference I can see is desktop is Pro and laptop is Home?

Brave is a much more secure Browser and certainly steals a lot less of your details.
The recent issue of Computer Active shows some of the differences between Edge, Chrome & Brave. Plus it includes a Tor browser option.

I downloaded it and had a quick look.
It could not even import my Chrome bookmarks, although it said it had.

 

[GPGeorge]

Brave has been my default Browser for years. I don't recall any problems importing bookmarks from FireFox or IE. Chrome? I don't recall one way or the other.

 

[Gasman]

My apologies, I had used the incorrect profile for Chrome, as I have several email addresses in Gmail.
Firefox did the same which alerted me to my mistake.

Using the correct profle gave me all my bookmarks.

I will experiment.

Thank you.
