When updating to the newer version, it lost all my settings and bookmarks.

Extract Mypal 78.0.3 in your target folder. When starting the browser, create a new profile folder in your desired location. Then close the browser. Remove all files in your just created profile folder and copy all files from your old profile folder into it. Restatt the browser. When doing so, you won't lose anything. Additionally, I’ve created a very special user.js file that’s tailored precisely to my ageing hardware. It’s only ever loaded once, right at the first start of the browser. This is how I’ve been installing a new version of Mypal for years. :P

@feodor2 Cauldron Filthcare aka the well-known and beloved service Cloudflare smilie-tier-333.gif is indeed not working in Mypal 78.0.3. Here is a link to a website checked by this damn service: https://www.sb-innovation.de/forum.php . The check loops in Mypal 78.0.3 but works fine in New Moon 28. Same with the website https://www.wilderssecurity.com/ but here I additionally got a black screen for seconds and some graphics on my desktop crashed. Maybe, you have a look into the last commits from MCP and @roytam1 for getting an idea how to fix it. :dubbio: At the moment, I'll immediately stop all Cloudflare checks in Mypal 78.0.3 to protect my computer. :P

About Mypal 78.0.3, there is an issue with fonts display...

Take a look on the comments below the article of this french web page:

https://www.minimachines.net/actu/taxe-petits-colis-double-peine-142239

With Mypal 74.1.3:

I don't have blurry fonts on that page.

First try Options>Fonts and Colors>Advanced>"Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above"

If that doesn't help try:

Font Contrast

@Skorpios

Thank you for the tip!

For me, I must do the reverse.

If I disable the option << Allow pages to choose their own fonts >> the font is again readable even if it is not the default font of the website.

But with the option enable by default, I get the blured font display.

Regards

I think that part of the issue in this discussion is the "it's all relative" nature of the posted screencaps.

ALL of the screencaps ( @AstroSkipper's and @Skorpios's and @genieautravail's ) look like total CRAP on my computer.

But when I visit the website directly, my computer looks like NONE of those screencaps and the fonts (default settings, no extensions) look fine and no blur.

It seems to me that whatever your system is doing on your own systems is affecting the screencaps on your own systems also.

Zero problems here.  "Bias" against me aside.

@genieautravail's is definitely the UGLIEST.  But then @AstroSkipper's.  And @Skorpios's being the least ugliest.  Okay, those two are close enough to be a tie.

But here on Win7 strictly for testing, all three are UGLY.

This thread and Mypal is NOT strictly for XP.  But no, even the author's Github cites "Win10 never checked, its specific bugs wont fix.", so I did test in Win7.

Sometimes I forget how 80% of MSFN is all XP users and the rest of us aren't really supposed to be here.  So carry on, I simply thought screencapping could be PART OF the problem.

Serious question - are SUBPIXEL RENDERINGS "captured" differently via bmp, jpg, png?  And are SUBPIXEL RENDERINGS screencaps rendered differently from one computer to the next?

ALL of the font ugliness in this discussion all seems tied to SUBPIXEL RENDERINGS and "antialias fonts".

 

Edit: every OS and every graphics card and every driver for that graphics card will effect the rendering differently.

So maybe, just maybe, this isn't really a Mypal discussion but a graphics card and/or driver problem.

I know some people go through GREAT LENGTHS to find "exact" drivers for SUBPIXEL FONT problems.

The way that Mypal uses DIRECTWRITE or GDI in XP will vary greatly from one XP setup to the next.  Not all XP machines will render them the same.

These types of "issues" can **ALWAYS** be fixed by the end user !!!

Just replace the "Bitter" font defined by that page's CSS to a different font, whoala, problem solved.

ie, the below is from that page, just replace Bitter with the font of your liking.

 

body.small-title.widget-title.tv-featured-title {
  1.  
    font-family: Bitter;

My screenshot is a PNG file. The text can be well read, and therefore the sceenshot is ok. It’s not about winning a rendering prize. And as for Mypal 78 on Windows 10, it makes absolutely no sense to use that browser there. :no: There are plenty of up-to-date browsers available for Windows 10. Mypal 78 was designed for older operating systems such as Windows XP. On those systems, more modern browsers are urgently needed – particularly on low-spec computers where, for example, Supermium isn’t an option. :cool:
