Locally installed Google Web fonts appear blurred in Firefox and Chrome - google-webfonts

I recently started using the Open Sans Google webfont for my website. Things went well until I installed the Open Sans font onto my computer in the local font dir (Windows XP). Then all of a sudden and only on my computer and in Firefox and Chrome (latest versions running on Windows XP) the Open Sans font started to appear blurred. I thought it had something to do with my site but looking at the Google Web font site, that particular font looked blurred too. Strangely enough IE8 did not suffer from this problem.
I removed the Open Sans font from my Windows font directory and the fonts became crystal clear again on my computer and in all browsers.
Is there a way to keep the Open Sans font installed on my PC (easy if you want to create mockups using that font,....) without ending up with a blurred font in FF and Chrome for any site using Open Sans?

Had the same problem and fixed it by install Microsoft's Cleartype tuning.
Had to install the powertoy as the web version wouldn't work for me

Font not installed in VS Code

I have synchronized my VS Code on my laptop (macOS) and my desktop computer, and yet the 'Hack' font is not effective on my laptop.
While there is no problem in my desktop computer, the font works well.
The font is installed on both machines.
Does anyone know why?

Eclipse is unable to open firefox developer edition in MX-Linux when the browser is open

When I try to open a ".jsp" file from Eclipse into the firefox developer edition, the browser cannot load the page when it is open. Instead, it only displays the page when it is started.
In the picture below, you can see that I have set that browser as the default in Eclipse.
For confirmation, my firefox developer edition is saved in the /opt/firefox-dev/ directory. And also, in the properties, I have included the %u command.
I am using MX-Linux as my OS. So what can be the reason behind this behaviour?

Unity 3D build file fails to open in browser

I am using the latest version of unity 3d 5.3.1f1. I have built a web player file. I have tried both firefox and interntet explorer but cannot play the build file in the browser. I'm using windows 10 64 bit and my unity is also 64 bit. Thought installing 32 bit web player will do the work but it didn't.
The problem was created by idm extension. I just unchecked mozilla firefox from idm's browser system integration and it worked.

inconsistent look in two installations of eclipse mars

I have done a fresh install of eclipse mars on both of my desktop PC and laptop PC. While the user interface looks clean on desktop PC, it looks ugly (compared to Desktop) on laptop. Both PC's have same configuration. Both runs Linux Mint 17.2 as operating system. Both uses same GTK theme etc. In my opinion the problem in laptop is backgrounds of SWT widgets are not transparent. But this is just a guess.

Your opinion seems to be right. I had a same problem on Kubuntu. In fact I couldn't change it in any way. After few days it looks right by itself. (maybe some fix, update or something...)
By the way nice interface!
I found out that this was a GTK theme issue, not an eclipse issue. Although two PC's use the same GTK theme (delorean dark). Desktop PC was getting the theme from a more updated PPA. laptop was getting the theme from Linux Mint PPA. I updated the theme on laptop, now the looks are consistent.
