Unreadable fonts in android 10

mahargwa — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 21:46:24 GMT

Since android 10 arrived there is a font that I can't read. It is used in the system and apps. The letters seem to be white with a black outline. I need to change this as it's very difficult to read text that uses this font. But I can't find a way to change this. It seems that Sony doesn't want users to change the fonts (except for size). Other manufacturers allow font modification. I need to change this font. I don't know it's name. Can anyone help me with this. Better still, can Sony change this. (My LG G5 was fine with Android 8, and my Xperia 1 was OK until android 10 arrived. HELP!

Hi mahargwa,

Could it be that "High contrast text" is enabled in Settings -> Accessibility? (far down in the list under Experimental)

In Android 10 you can change the font style & others things in developers options
