Font rendering is handled by Chromium's libraries/dependencies.

Do you also criticize Chromium's font rendering? Maybe you are just looking for things to complain about?

Chromium font rendering on Windows is terrible as it doesn't properly use the platform renderer and settings.

However on Linux it does, so this sounds like a broken fontconfig setup, or a toolkit not getting the right hinting config.
