I see weirder Web-font-related behaviors on both Android and Ubuntu. Specifically, either 1) spacing is very wrong, maybe as if the text was laid out with metrics from the Web font but actually rendered with glyphs from a fallback font (ex: http://imgur.com/KovolXb http://imgur.com/KovolXb, from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6954882 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6954882 -- the page should be in a webfont (Computer Modern Roman), but it's in some generic sans with bad layout), 2) very rarely, I see text that should appear in a Web font replaced with total gibberish (random characters overlapping each other, weird spaces) until I select text or do something else forcing a repaint. I last remember the latter effect in the title text of Slate articles (viewed on Android) that shows in a position:fixed bar after one scrolls down; think I've also seen it in titles on The Verge (viewed on Ubuntu). In both cases, the title text is in a different font from most of the rest of the page.
I'm glad there's performance progress, nothing but high praise for Chrome overall. Just weird things to see.
