This is what happens in Chrome on Windows 7. Its rendering of remote fonts is horrible, and the Chrome team should be ashamed of themselves. @font-face is incredibly common now and Chrome on Windows just ruins many very well-done designs.
Thanks for the heads-up. A quick google later and I see it's a common issue. It even seems to be unstable when I zoom in/out, whereas some levels of zoom are sometimes at least readable but bringing it back to the default zoom will show a different rendering than initially. Very odd indeed.
I've tried fiddling with the Cleartype settings but it doesn't seem to help.
Same here. As far as I was able to discern with some research, it has to do with the rendering engine that Chrome uses - I think GDI+ instead of DirectDraw, or perhaps vice-versa, whereas Firefox and IE use the better one, and IIRC Safari has its own.
