Bad fonts in Chromium?

Use a custom font:
Go to Pref Under the hood and specify a different font.
I use Verdana. It works for me.
For managing fonts I recommend fontmatrix.

A lots of people seem to have this issue:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue … l?id=29871 comment 48 step 3 seems to provide a solution:
Create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine file in your home directory with the following content:
gtk-xft-hinting = 1
gtk-xft-hintstyle = hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba = rgb

Step4: Restart your X server (for e.g. do a Logout)

Set minimum font in Chromium

I found Chromium unusable because of the way too small fonts om my high resolution screen until I found this tweak:

To set the minimum font size in Chromium (Linux), you must edit the ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences file:

gedit ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences

Look for this inside the file you just opened:

  },
"webkit": {
  "webprefs": {
     "default_fixed_font_size": 15,
     "default_font_size": 16,
     "fixed_font_family": "Monospace",
     "sansserif_font_family": "Droid Sans",
     "serif_font_family": "Liberation Serif"
  }
}
}

And add this two lines under "webprefs": {

 "minimum_font_size": 16,
"minimum_logical_font_siz": 16,


If you don't see this for change the default fonts in Options Under the Hood
