New issue 17866 by [email protected]: tab title font size is too small   
for some languages
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17866

1. Go to http://www.udn.tw (a Taiwanese newspaper site that uses
traditional Chinese characters) in Chrome and Firefox

2. Open another tab

3. Compare the font size of the tab title in two browsers

4. In Chrome, it's rather hard to read Chinese characters with a lot of
(horizontal) strokes. (see the screenshot attached)

Adjusting the UI font size per locale doesn't work because English Chrome
users can visit Chinese pages.

It seems that the font size for the tab title on Linux is smaller than that
on Windows.

Changing the size for all categories in the Gnome appearance | fonts
doesn't make any difference as if it's hard-coded.  The UI font size of
Firefox 3 gets larger when I increase the font size in Gnome apperaance |
fonts.

If there's a bug filed on Chrome's UI fonts not dependent on the desktop
setting (I'm aware of the one about anti-aliasing), this should be made
dependent on that bug.
