I had similar problem to #764347, on Lenovo T440s, 14" 1920x1080 display,
font dpi set to 106 by Window manager, Xfce4.

It seems HiDPI support can be turned off by

  # for chromium 37
  CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS=--force-device-scale-factor=1
  export CHROMIUM_USER_FLAGS

  # for chromium 38
  CHROMIUM_FLAGS=--force-device-scale-factor=1
  export CHROMIUM_FLAGS

Regards,
