Font rendering is blurry

[mak448a]

Describe the bug When opening up Dotto, the fonts look blurry.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the Dotto online page
2. Set fractional scaling on your desktop environment to 125%
3. Look at the fonts being blurry

Expected behavior The fonts should be clear.

Screenshots

Desktop

• OS: Fedora Linux 38
• Scaling Factor: 125%
• Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma
• Display Server: Wayland
• Browser: Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit)

I think it's because the font is thin and shrunken down to a small size making it blurry

Solution: Use a bold variant (I have no idea where the font is called)

I'm pretty sure there isn't an issue with the font itself (otherwise we'd see the same blurriness elsewhere). I haven't been able to replicate the issue at all on my end, so it has been hard to pinpoint.

Ah see it is a problem that can only be replicated in html since I kind of had the same issue a while back where the font became blurry and hard to read or it just didn't render so maybe that is what's happening here?

It might have to do with fractional scaling. I have 125% scaling enabled on my desktop environment.

I'm going to try to build the source code and see if I get the same result running native.

[mak448a]

The problem is either non-existent or less bad on native. I'm not sure which it is.

hmmm html is the problem

So it seems like it's these two things:

• Emscripten/wasm build
• Fractional Scaling

Try setting fractional scaling to 125%

Umm it did the same thing (for me)

Sounds like fractional rendering is simply stretching the rendered UI. If you draw something, does it appear blurry as well? If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it.

Its just the font.

It's a little blurry, yes. I guess there's nothing we can do about it then.
