Font Rendering

It's not the zoom level on that page?
Press Ctrl + 0, this will reset the font to 100% zoom.
You can zoom web pages by press Ctrl + - and Ctrl + =, or by pressing Ctrl and scrolling the mousewheel, and most browsers nowadays save the zoom level on a per-site basis, which can cause the effect you're seeing.

it's always worth checking in another browser to try and narrow the problem down. is it system wide or just one browser?
this is firefox 28 on the left and IE11 on the right - all windows settings default. i'm guessing you're expecting your text to look like this?

You think you have font rendering problems...check out what IE anc Chrome do on my PC here at work...
Can't get to the bottom of it tried all sorts. Instead I just use Firefox now! lol

Still a little fuzzy in Internet Explorer...But not as bad as Chrome.
Tried zooming in/out, setting to zero.. still fuzzy.
Also does it for the top search bar on facebook...
Driving me insane at the moment trying to figure out what's causing it...
Convinced it's cleartype messing with the settings

How...
To OP, here's something to try. Go to IE's settings, under the "Advanced" tab, tick "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering", then restart the browser and see if that helps. Also, how is your PC connected to the monitor? I sometimes find HDMI can mess with the quality, switching to DVI/VGA helps.

The error is in the screenshot, so the monitor connection can't have anything to do with it. There's a surprisingly long-running issue with Chrome's font rendering which tends to cause some nasty aliasing. It could well be that.
So it's the same on I.E and Firefox... But only certain sites...
All started when i installed a new font and it didn't render on-screen correctly, so was deleted...
Starting to toy with the idea of a reinstall of windows, it's driving me up the wall!

if you have a windows 7 disk (or ISO), browse the sources folder and then open the file install.wim using decent archive program like 7-zip. browse to
1\windows\fonts
highlight and copy all the files to a new folder somewhere on your pc. make sure all these files are highlighted then right click>install.

Well then get the original font back?
When a system cant find a font because you overwrote it then simply deleted it it will just default to a similar font. FF might be defaulting to a different font than Chrome is.
Do you have Arial in your fonts and does it have all the styles?
