Typeface not rendering correctly in some devices: XP, Fujitsu

Hi,

I'm using Degular display for headlines and Degular text for body imported in a wordpress website using Avadas custom font feature. In my Mac computer the typeface looks perfect in all browers, tested in Chrome, Firefox, Arc and Safari. In XP and Fujitsu however the typeface looks broken, some letters are cut out, for example p, the g's and e's are being squezeed, etc see photos.

How can I fix this? Anyone experienced these issues before?

    Hi @loredanar60537510, 

     

    We're sorry for the delay. It looks like this issue is related to how fonts are rendered on Windows XP, which can differ from modern systems.

     

    Here are a couple of older (but still relevant) articles explaining how XP handles font rendering:

     

    Unfortunately, there isn’t a specific fix we can provide. It may help to check if ClearType is enabled, but that’s something each end user would need to do on their own system.

    If supporting XP is important, you could consider testing a few adjustments, such as:

    • Trying a different font size or color for better contrast

    • Switching to another typeface that renders more cleanly on XP

     

    Regards,

    Tarun
