That's totally you. I see smooth fonts in the forum. Maybe check your windows settings for anti-aliasing on fonts? I know there's a way to turn it off (it makes windows marginally faster), but it commonly makes fonts outside of their ideal sizes look like ass.
There's an issue with Chrome's font rendering on certain Windows platforms which is probably at fault here. They should have it fixed in the next version.
Really? I'm using Chrome with Win7, but I've also used it with XP and both look the same. Could the offending version be... Vista? (big surprise if it is)
Yeah the same font problem on this computer with chrome for me. My other computers don't have that problem.
