Question

No anti-aliasing in fonts for the Creative Cloud UI?

Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? The fonts have become somewhat difficult to read from a short distance. Note: font smoothing is turned on in Windows, so we can rule that out (see image with CC window title bar below; the title bar, which is controlled by Windows, is clearly using font smoothing, but the menu labels are not).

Antialiasing is an OS functionality. What is your Windows version?

    I'm running Windows 10. The issue has corrected itself following a required system reboot; however, the lack of anti-aliasing was specific to the CC Desktop app. Font smoothing behaved as expected everywhere else, even in other Adobe apps. If this happens again I suppose I'll just restart my machine. Thanks for the reply, though!

      Glad it sorted it out (sorry I couldn't help further!)

      This is how it looks for me

       

      (on windows 11)

      I haven't noticed any changes recently.
      Does it only happen on the CC app, or somewhere else across the Adobe apps?

        Thanks for the response! The isse only occurred within the CC Desktop app itself, not in any of the other Adobe apps (nor in any other non-Adobe app or in the Windows 10 UI). However, the problem corrected itself after a required reboot following a scheduled system update from our IT department, so the whole thing appears to have been some sort of anomaly.

        Moved from fonts. This is not an Adobe fonts problem.
