Web Design is 95% Typography

I get this quite often (Chromium/Ubuntu here, too). It usually fixes itself by zooming out/zooming in. I always surf with 120% zoom, and I've kind of assumed the bug is related to that. Do you surf with a non-default zoom level?

Me too (Ubuntu + Chromium), and is really annoying, as more and more sites are starting to use webfonts :( The strange thing is that only happens around links and on Chromiun (Chrome works ok)

I think the bug was maybe fixed (I haven't seen it in a while), but Ubuntu ships an ancient version of Chrome (looks like Chrome 18, while I'm using Chrome 23).

Yep. Get it from Google (Chrome) not Ubuntu (Chromium).

I get it from some ppa with newer chromiums, and now that you mention it, I can't recall seeing it in a while. Hope it's fixed!

I also frequently experience this glitch, default zoom level is 100%.

No, this was with the default and it persists even after zooming back and forth.

Yeah, I'm in the habit of CTRL++ and CTRL+- upon opening pages that use custom fonts (JavaScript fonts).
