Hi Vincent,
I'm not clear on what your problem is. Are you saying you're running BrowserLab in Chrome, or are you getting screenshots of Chrome for a certain URL and seeing problems with those screenshots? Is the URL public, and if so, can you let us know what it is?
Thanks,
Mark

Vincentma Jul 12, 2011 10:20 AM (in response to Mark_Rausch)Hi Mark,
The webpage is in my local/network and I am previewing my web pages from Adobe Dreamweaver. I am testing my webpage in BrowserLab and using all the available browser options such as FireFox, Safari, IE, and Chrome. All the fonts come out fine expect when viewing in the Chrome mode. The font is very thin and jagged.
Thanks
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Can you send me the files for your page so we can try to repro this issue here please? ( mrausch@adobe.com ) Or, if not, can you create a simple test case that repros the issue for you and send those files to me.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Vincent,
I got the files and I think we're seeing the same issue, in BL the font looks fuzzy in Chrome, but it looks sharp in the actual Chrome browser on my machine. I've attached shots from Chrome 10 and Firefox 4. Does the Chrome 10 shot show the problem you're describing?

Yes thats the Google Chrome problem I am seeing in BL.
If the font comes out sharp on your actual machine then I guess I should just ignore BL right?
Cheers

*cough* Well... you can ignore that specific issue that we're showing for Chrome, yes, but I wouldn't just ignore BrowserLab
The odd thing we're trying to figure out right now is that it looks fine in Chrome on the desktop, but our QE person took a screenshot of that to send to show me, and the screenshot ended up with the same font fuzziness, so the screenshot she got actually looked different from what was in the browser. We're going to investigate further, but at this point it looks like it may be a problem in Chrome itself.

xtknight904 Aug 19, 2011 3:05 AM (in response to Vincentma)That issue to me looks to simply be aggressive JPEG compression. It would be nice if the JPEG quality were increased or if BrowserLab sent over PNGs instead, maybe?
P.S.
Re-saving the good image at JPEG 90% yields something that looks eerily similar to the original bad image.

webattack Apr 16, 2012 2:21 AM (in response to Mark_Rausch)Hello Mark,
I observed the same problem: the rendering is good with IE9, and really ugly with Chrome 18.
This happens not only with downloaded fonts using @font-face, but also with standard fonts such as Georgia or Times New Roman.
May I send the URL to you in private email? I cannot publish the URL now.
thank you
