i reinstalled win 11 pro on my acer nitro v15 laptop and ive noticed that the system font looks weird in some places where the system or system affiliated apps use it (files & task manager.) The first pic is the one drive notification and its completely blurry. the other 2 are each from files and task manager, do you see how the "l" looks? so out of place right? this also happens to other letters from time to time specifically in these 2 apps. please help me its annoying me out

Could be a scaling issue. Maybe try changing the scale or seeing if your device has newer graphics drivers?

Go to toolbar on this or any thread to your User Name Profile/System Specs. Please type in the Make and Model # of your Acer Laptop so we know what we are dealing with and we don't need to keep asking you.

Press the Windows key +X and choose Device Manager. Expand Display Adapter.
Are you using the default Microsoft Video Driver? or a specific manufacturer. If the Microsoft default,. you need to download the driver from the Acer Web site by searching for your make and model #

As stated, After that, right click a blank space on the desktop, choose Display Settings. Under Display Resolution, adjust it to the Recommended level. Under Scale, change the % to what looks best for you.

You just need to adjust your Anti-aliasing of fonts. In Windows that is ClearType.

Settings > Personalisation > Fonts > Adjust ClearType text > Turn on ClearType > Tick > Next...

Go thru the 5 screens of tuning and > Finish.

you can also change the default system font, if you wish.
to another font that is better suited to your needs.

i use Ubuntu font as the default system font on Windows.

best of luck Steve ..
