Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Skywriter Graveyard :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[Dror Harari]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.162.0 Safari/530.0
Build Identifier: https://bespin.mozilla.com/dashboard.html

I have a big monitor and the text normally renders too small so I changed my desktop properties (WindowsXP) to use 120DPI rather than the normal 96DPI. The characters displayed in Bespin, both in the dashboard as well as in the editor look blurry and generally bad.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use Windows XP
2.On desktop, right-click and select Properties
3.Select the Advanced button on the Settings tab
4.Use the DPI Setting combo to switch to 120DPI
5.Launch Bespin
Actual Results:  
Text looks bad

Expected Results:  
Text looks awesome

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: User Interface.

I believe this is just a Chrome issue; I've seen similar results there before. Chrome is presently unsupported, but we'll get to it soon.
