Chromium 37.0.2062.94 Calibri 11 pt broken

A bizarre issue started happening after my Chromium was updated to 37.0.2062.94 today. Pages that have font Calibri size 11 pt (and only with 11 pt) are messed up. Sizes bigger and smaller than 11 pt are fine. Sizes 12 13 and 14 don't look great, but they're at least legible. Above 14 pt looks fine again.

It must be the same issue as reported here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu … ?id=374818, even though the comments are from back in May.

I've added a sample page and screenshot to the Chromium bug report.

@twelveeighty,

I'm have the same issue here, but only on one of my arch installs.

I have also this issue in Chromium 37.0.2062.120 (281580). Is there any solution?

This screen - http://imgur.com/S433kqH - is from chromium, but in LibreOffice it looks much better - http://imgur.com/3KgMTlW

Re: Chromium 37.0.2062.94 Calibri 11 pt broken

Just in case someone comes to this thread from google, here's a workaround:

Add following to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf and restart chromium.

<match target="font" >
    <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
        <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
</match>
