      Hi everybody,

       

      Is there any way to control anti-aliasing in Edge Reflow?

          Hey Doctoromago,

           

          Reflow uses the same layout engine as Chrome so you only have what is possible within the browser. This is ultimately the best way to use Reflow since you get an exact replication of what a user will see. If your post was with regards to something different please give us more information to help.

           

          All the best,

           

          Billy

            I am not sure, certain fonts i tried look different in Chrome and Reflow. I will try to attach some pictures so you can see.

              Either way ultimately what the browser shows you is what your users will see so you shouldn't rely on Reflow alone. You'll have differences between Windows, Mac and different browsers too. They all take the markup and styles and treat them in slightly different ways.

                Thanks Billy i know all of this. The problem is that when i am using Reflow i am unable to see what will be my output in the browser. If i want to see how this looks like in a browser i need to preview it in a browser and that's not particularity handy to do all the time. So i though maybe there is an option to configure anti aliasing so i can set it to match my browser/browsers as close as possible. I am in the middle of something, when i finish i will post some pictures for you to see.

                  I don't believe there is or will be anything to help. As per my first reply, since Reflow uses the same layout engine as Chrome it's limited to what's avaliable. I could imagine additions of webkit only rendering options like -webkit-font-smoothing or -webkit-text-stroke in Reflow may help but adding those options will only change them in Chrome too so they'll still be different if they are indeed at the moment.

                   

                  Post your screens when you can just in case it is something else.

                   

                  Thanks,
