Hi.
Chrome does not display fonts in a readable manner. The're square.
I'm running mac OS 10.6.2. and the stable version of Chrome.
Unfortunately I'm not capable of posting a screenshot. THe fonts are squares with small A's in them.

Cheers

Welcome to ChromeSpot

I have seen the square fonts in some sites

Does this help? http://code.google.com/p/chromium/is...l?id=11269#c17

"I opened Font Book, and it showed I had multiple versions of Arial Bold available. Use the 'remove duplicates' function to disable the duplicate fonts and then restart Chrome."

Or perhaps:

Chrome sandbox blocks loading of fonts stored in nonstandard locations by font managers

Also, I notice from your original post you said:

I'm running mac OS 10.6.2. and the stable version of Chrome.

Which is technically impossible since there is no Stable version of Mac Chrome yet. (Mac Chrome is still in Dev and Beta testing.)

What is displayed for your Chrome version from about:version ?
