New issue 18335 by [email protected]: Weird font rendering with antialias disabled (Linux) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18335 Chrome Version : 3.0.197.0~svn20090802r22252-0ubuntu1~ucd1~hardy OS + version : Ubuntu hardy CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit):32-bit window manager : Gnome URLs (if applicable) : Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): works Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. set Gnome font proferences to "Smoothing: none", "Hinting: slight" so as to reproduce Window's appearance with non-àaliased fonts 2. set Arial or any MS TTF font as default 3. watch Chrome render badly jagged fonts What is the expected result? Getting smooth non-antialiased fonts inside the Chromium window, as for the rest of the system. What happens instead? You get smooth fonts for the window menus, but not inside the Chromium window. The effect is similar to what you get with freetype's bytecode interpreter disabled. I am attaching a screenshot, note the correct rendering for the window menus (and the correct rendering in FF behind the Chromium window), and the awful rendering of fonts inside the Chromium window.
