Howdy all: The tree has been incredibly green of late thanks to continued dedication to stability and test fixing, but there are those times when you might still get bitten by non-green revs costing you time as you try to figure out why a build failed only to discover it's not your fault. To avoi

Hi all, With 2.0 including the new "@font-face" feature, it'd be great if Chromium were starting to sport more (and better) typographic options, particularly well-licensed fonts. There aren't a lot of fonts today that are both good and open, but after a discussion with Glen and a little bit of di
