Comment #6 on issue 17866 by tony.chromium: tab title font size (hard-coded) is too small for some languages and cannot be changed with the desktop settings http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17866
Here's a screenshot of font sizes. The linux fonts do look smaller than on Windows. It looks like the current linux font size is 8pt: http://codereview.chromium.org/159119 I think it should be 9pt since that's the default Windows font size that gets pulled into the tabstrip on Windows (from Jungshik's post above). I don't know if font face matters or amount of hinting matters, but I guess you can turn off hinting in the system it makes it worse on Linux. The other option is to do like Windows and obey the system font size and have text overflow everywhere (easy for the tab strip, harder for the omnibox because the text widget will also grow so the white box will also extend out of the toolbar).
