Package: chromium
Version: 34.0.1847.116-1~deb7u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
A recent update of Chromium (versions 33 and 34 ?) makes the fonts look ugly.
It appears that, if a fixed font is available on the system, Chromium now uses
it to render some text instead of the nice variable size fonts.
To reproduce just install fixedsc font from
http://ptspts.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/how-to-enable-bitmap-fonts-on-ubuntu.html
, use "fc-list|grep fix" to verify the font is installed, and then start
chromium
This issue also appears to affect Gentoo, so it may be an upstream issue.
