This is only tangentially related (images vs fonts), but a small pet peeve of mine that kept me from migrating to Chrome from Firefox on my Windows machine back in the day is the fact that Chrome uses an internal text antialiasing engine that is, as far as I can tell, impossible to disable. Firefox, on the other hand, honors the system antialiasing settings. So, for example, if you disable cleartype on Windows, you will have crisp aliased fonts at default font sizes on Firefox, but you will still get blurry antialiased fonts in Chrome no matter what.
