Firefox on the left? so switch the directwrite flag to enable and you will get the same rendering
what is the problem? nothing needs to be changed, everything is already there
on the right screenshot, the test gives the correct answer ClearType enabled: FAIL set fonts in windows, you can try this tweak

(I have the same as in the second screenshot, by the way, both with and without directwrite flag, and in firefox the same thing)

Definitely yes.

You can use font gamma tester.
Firefox show correct gamma, Cent browser not:

you are definitively WRONG. It's like saying there is only one color everybody should love/use !
Everybody has its own perception with its own eyes (which are not yours), on its own hardware, with its own settings


"Good" gamma value is absolutely linked to the feeling of each person.

the proof of this ?

• people have asked centbrowser team to lower the gamma value years ago
  
• now you're asking the exact opposite.
  
• (for my part, I don't see anything wrong with your first screenshot)
  

In fact, if there was only one "good" gamma value, we should not have this conversation, at all.
The only good gamma value is the one a user is able to setup by himself. If it's doable without a lot of modifications, what's the problem to let people decide by themselves ?

You can change it on your TV, on your computer screen, on some dark games, why not on Centbrowser after all ?


ps : if it was so binary, I should say : use directWrite ! This is the only good way to use CentBrowser 

[CentBrowser]

Definitely yes.

I'm not familiar with this parameter, but it seems that it is not necessarily a fixed value.
We may need to add an option for this.
