Fixing Discord font on Vista (and possibly older)

Unread post by K4sum1 »

If you've ever used Discord on Vista with Firefox, one of the first things you'd notice is that the font is kinda scuffed. 4's and E's are missing a line and there are other odd looking characters, however, I've found a fix for this.

How to apply the fix:
If you're using Waterfox Classic or older use Stylem, if you're using Firefox 57 or newer use Stylus, if you're using Firefox 86 or newer the fonts should already be fine for you.

Paste the below CSS into Stylem and save it. If you're using Stylus, it should recognize it as Mozilla formatted code and ask you to covert it. If not, there should be a button to import Mozilla code.

Code: Select all

@-moz-document domain('discord.com') {
* {
    font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif !important;
}}
The fonts are still a bit off compared to Windows 7+, but in my opinion it looks much better than before. See the attached images.

So, if I did this right, I should have moved this topic to the Vista category. while also leaving a link to it in the browsers category. Thought the topic would be more relevant and have better reach here.

Isn't that the normal Discord font in the first place that you're replacing, making this more or less 'how to replace the font if you don't like the default one', which admittedly looks arse?

I think it would look better with Segoe UI, the native Vista font.
