Fix font rendering in Chrome when using webRDP

Issue
When inside of an RDP session, the fonts look blurry or grainy.


Solution
There appears to be an issue with Chrome's smooth text scaling feature, that recently appeared in a recent update to Chrome.

One fix, found in Google's Support forums, is to disable Accelerated 2D Canvas.
  1. Enter chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-2d-canvas Chrome's address bar.
  2. Toggle Accelerated 2D Canvas from "Enabled" to "Disabled".
  3. Click "Relaunch" to apply the change.

Alternately, you can completely disable hardware acceleration by following these steps.
  1. Type chrome://settings/ in Chrome's address bar.
  2. Click Advanced at the bottom of the page to expand the Advanced Settings.
  3. Toggle "Use hardware acceleration when available" to the "Off" position.
  4. Click "Relaunch" to apply the change.
