All custom fonts look like a disaster on Chrome in Windows. It's the only browser that uses GDI to render text in Windows where Firefox/IE use DirectDraw. All fonts end up being rendered very thin, and if they're thin to start with, that causes discontinuities in the glyphs. It also affects the color; the rendered color may be significantly different than the text color specified in CSS.
It's been an open bug on Chromium/Chrome for several years.

- omegote 13y agoThis is depressing. They closed the comments so they don't have to hear anything from their userbase. If this kind of problems happened in Mac, the bug would have been resolved for years.

- meritt 13y agoIs there a workaround I (the user) can employ to make Windows+Chrome work right? I've long since given up on sites to figure out a workaround but would really love to have readable sites.
- dangrossman 13y agoUse a non-custom font. You can edit the CSS using the inspector, or use an extension like Readability.
