- wyck 12y agoNo it's not just you, it's everyone using chrome windows, it a bug in their rendering engine that has been unfixed for years. There are multiple easy ways to fix this (load order, re-rendering font, server config)..you would think a web starter kit would get the basics of fonts right... The layout is also broken for the icon rows... Example: http://i.imgur.com/8DCIsLw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8DCIsLw.jpg
