  The fonts look ugly on Chrome, like they were not anti-aliased. It’s fine no IE 10.

  The issue can be seen in the screen capture: http://postimg.org/image/3xx2gwk9d/full/

  (a) PC.
  (b) Chrome 31 (This is the most current version)
  (c) Only this one in the JavaScript console:

  event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.

  Hi there, thanks for the report. We’re aware of an issue with some Google Fonts not displaying smoothly in certain Windows browsers and our developers are investigating.

  Howdy!

  After lots of trial and error, we’ve found there’s not much we can do on the theme side to prevent this from happening–some Google Fonts don’t look great in Chrome for Windows.

  Our hope is that Google will eventually fix the display problem and make their fonts look good in their browser.

  Until then, you might consider choosing a different theme, or, if you already have Custom Design, use the upgrade to change the fonts to something more readable.

  Thanks!
