Poor text rendering in PDFs

Hello,   It's been a long time since using Chrome, but AFAIR it had been so with Chrome, too. So I believe this issue is not specific to Edge, and rather a remnant of Chrome.   It's the text rend...

Mid 2021 update: This issue is still very much with us. My system details are as follows:

  • Windows 10 Education, 20H2
  • 1440p display on 125% scaling
  • Edge Version 92.0.902.55 (Official build) beta (64-bit)

I am still forced (objectively, it's not a breaking issue, but it is so given an obsessive personality) to use Firefox when it comes to working with PDF documents on Overleaf.

 

My question to anyone reading this: Has this really NEVER occurred to you? If so, what are your system details?

 

The non-100% display scaling is the only thing I can think of that might have something to do with this, and the high resolution screens are so common nowadays that I think most of you should already be in the same boat as mine. And in my boat, it seems that one has to be very lucky to not have the issue, or be very carefree about it to not have a notice.

I have been also suffering from the issue for very long. I have 2 monitors: the main monitor is 125% while the secondary is 100%, but the issue happens on both. 

 

I am using the latest stable version of Edge, althought I don't think it matters because it's not a new issue or something that seems to have a fix already.
