Package: chromium-browser
Version: 5.0.375.29~r46008-3
Severity: normal
Same problem here: Chromium's webpage fonts look blurry, while
Chromium's window chrome looks fine.
Upstream has many bugreports about this, each of which seems to get
marked as done after fixing some facet of the issue, but the overall
problem seems to remain.
In general, different parts of Chromium get font information from
different systems, among them fontconfig, XSETTINGS (supplied by
gnome-settings-daemon), and the X resource database (supplied by
~/.Xresources).
