Hi,
I have a problem with Chromium. Some fonts look broken there, see this example:

The same page in Firefox looks okay:

I don't even know where to start with this issue, can you guys point me in the right direction? Thanks! |

There are lots of guides about getting nice fonts in linux. Like these:

http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fontconfig
What really made a difference for me, was adding those substitutions in /etc/fonts/local.conf
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>DejaVu Sans</family>
<family>Droid Sans</family>

Those are the most common fonts in the web. If you want to add some others you might find this chrome extension useful, since it will help you identify the fonts that a given block in a given web page use:
