Many web-developers struggle with the quality of chrome’s web font rendering. As web fonts become an industry standard in web-design, it is only a matter of time before chrome improves their webfont rendering. In the meantime, it would be nice to have a fix. You probably keep seeing little CSS tricks floating around out there involving a text-stroke, invisible shadows… even tilting the font 1 degree to force chrome to use anti-aliasing. Some tricks work well, but only on certain sizes. The problem is some of these tricks fail in the next release of Chrome, and/or worse, they don’t degrade well, wreaking havok on your website’s typography.
