[SOLVED] chrome/chromium displaying garbled text in tab/browsers bar

basically anywhere that isn't a webpage the text is garbled.

installed arch yesterday following the newbie guide and then immedietly installed xorg - i3 - chrome and it's broken

here's a screenshot, sorry about the terminal wasn't sure how to take it without having that take up half the screen

Hi Xarik1,
After some very brief google searching, it seems that bugs similar to this occur from time to time within chromium.  As a workaround you might try installing a different version, as listed here.  I'm assuming your issue won't be consistent across other browsers, if it is, that would indicate an issue beyond chromium itself, and would help in further problem solving.

Thanks!

Installed the dev channel release and it fixed my issues!
