    Wrong fonts displaying on all browsers only on laptop


    Hi,

    On my laptop, on certain websites, the font is completely different to how I view it on every other computer/laptop. I cannot figure out what could possibly be causing this and was hoping someone here has a solution.

    I have included screen shots showing the difference. I know it may sound really ocd, but it's generally worse on my eyes I find. All the main titles on websites (more than just facebook) are replaced by a horrible bold font and the general text on a lot of sites seems more narrow.

    This happens on all browsers and only browsers, all other system fonts are correct.

    Things I have tried so far but did not fix the problem
    - connected laptop to another monitor and applied the max resolution of 1080p (my laptop screen is 1366x768, gpu supports 1080 tho)
    - Gone into my internet options from the control panel and tried changing the font (and crossed checked it with other computers)
    -Checked chrome's font settings and cross checked with other computers

    The problem as been present ever since I got the laptop, its just really started to bug me recently.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks

    Oh damn, UPDATE: Actually I just assumed it happened on all browsers. I was wrong, i just installed firefox and the font is fine.

    How would i go about fixing this for chrome and ie thought?
