The next Chrome version (124) is expected to offer improved text rendering on Windows PCs. Microsoft programmers have been working for years to integrate a ClearType feature.
Why it matters: ClearType is a software solution conceived by Microsoft to improve text readability on Windows-based PCs and LCDs. The technology is designed to make text on a display look almost as sharp and clear as printed paper, but interoperable browser libraries can interfere with this kind of platform-specific optimization.
The next Chrome version (124) is expected to offer improved text rendering on Windows PCs. Microsoft programmers have been working for years to integrate a ClearType feature into the «insular,» platform-agnostic text renderer developed by Google for the Chromium project. Now, the code is nearly ready to be shipped to Chrome and other Chromium-based web browsers.
Microsoft’s Edge team began working on it in 2021 with the goal of enhancing contrast and gamma correction in web rendering.
