Ok, so I narrowed down the problem(serious text rendering isues) quite a 
bit. 
The problem exists when viewing any Google Visualization API chart in:

-Internet Explorer 9 64 BIT EDITION
-Browser Mode: IE9
-Document Mode: Quirks (requirement for the framework I'm working in)
-Doesn't matter compatibility mode on or off

I have been inadvertently testing in IE9 using the 64 bit edition of the 
program rather than the default 32 bit version. I've just found out from 
here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/05/29/q-a-64-bit-internet-explorer.aspx


and another forum that:


- The 64bit IE9 install always also includes the 32bit version.
- The 32bit IE9 version is made the default-browser on IE9 install/update.
- The 64bit version if IE9 is MUCH SLOWER than the 32bit version.
- The 64bit version is not recommended to use, it exists for technical reasons.

So this is clearly more of a problem on Microsoft's part that they released a 
version of IE9 that's "not recommended for use". Why would you let me install 
something that I'm not supposed to use??


Anyways, charts look fine in the Windows 7 default browser (IE9 32bit) in 
quirks mode and that's good enough for me. But seriously Microsoft, wtf? 


Hopefully by writing this I will save someone else the stupid amount of time 
spent troubleshooting this problem.
