Fonts losing clarity/fullness in Anki
I've noticed this issue for a long time now and just decided to bring it up to find out whether there's an issue on my end causing it or what.
There are a lot of fonts I'd like to use but they look really bad in Anki unless I turn the font size up by a lot. This is an example of how this particular font looks in Anki, and this isn't unique to just this font or anything, many turn out like this.

This is the same font in Notepad++

I think it's a pretty big difference in clarity, to the point I simply wouldn't bother using the font in Anki because of how bad it looks. There are other fonts, like Meiryo, that Anki does well with, so I'm not sure as to why many others lose their clarity in Anki. Is there a setting I can change on my end to do something about this? Thanks!

Font rendering is handled by the toolkit Anki is built on. We may update it to a new version or move to something else in the future, which will hopefully address issues like this.

Hi Damien, thanks for letting me know! It's good just to be aware that there is at least a chance for it to be addressed in future and it wasn't any problem on my end causing it. Hope it's not too much of a nuisance to either update or move to another toolkit, if you ever come to that.
