The solution to this problem is to serve your web fonts as SVG to Chrome on Windows, or hint your web font with ttfautohint.

Is that the infamous issue that requires you to reorder font type imports in your CSS? I've seen this many times on Win7 in Chrome.

Chrome works for me. (Version 31.0.1650.63 on Ubuntu 13.10)

It's only an issue on Windows because Chrome uses GDI to render text there, instead of DirectWrite like Firefox/IE use.

A lot of the text looks bad in Firefox on XP.

Because Firefox also used GDI on XP. It doesn't on newer versions of Windows.

What's the workaround for this problem? This is the first I've heard of it, and it looks pretty bad.

Test on windows?

A lot of thin fonts look bad in Windows especially chrome. So you could probably make a safe bet that if a font is thin on OSX then it will be much thinner (sometimes unreadable) on Windows.

If you want to use thin fonts only use them for the titles (but even here it looks like that causes problems).

Looks the same in FF as in Chrome (missing parts).

Pretty bad for a product aimed at front-end guys.
