What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Google Chrome v37+
2. Enable DirectWrite in chrome://flags
3. Look the fonts rendering
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The fonts are rendered badly compared to Chrome 36- (fonts are thinner and with
bad hinting/kerning, they are difficult to read, they look like in Internet
Explorer).
Additional Info:
With Chrome 36- and MacType all the fonts in Chrome looks perfect, wonderful to
read.
Now with Chrome 37 there is no more options to have a good font rendering in
Chrome, also when DirectWrite is disabled in Chrome settings the hinting are
completely distorted.
