Chrome renders fonts differently than other browsers in Windows 7. Possibly for speed reasons? Both the latest FF and IE9 look decent.

- pcwalton 14y agoIt's more historical at this point. Chrome doesn't use DirectWrite because it uses Skia on Windows. At the time, the choice was between GDI+ and Skia, and Skia was much faster. But DirectWrite on Vista and 7 is extremely fast (it's GPU-accelerated, unlike the Skia backend Chrome uses).
