[SOLVED] Everything is the wrong size in Google Chrome

Ever since the latest update for Google Chrome (stable, 43.0.2357.81-1), everything in the browser looks... weird. Many fonts look large and blurry, some fonts look too small. I thought it was just a font hinting or subpixel problem at first, but then I noticed that even images are the wrong size! Tinkering with Chrome's zoom setting solves the problem in some cases, but nothing seems to work universally.

For an example, I took some screenshots of the icons in Gmail's compose window at different zoom settings and compared these to the actual icon images (which I downloaded). Here they are blown up 200% so you can see the detail:

You can see that the A, paperclip, and picture look perfect at 90% zoom (though the top pixel of the paperclip is cut off). The drive logo and chain link are kinda close at 100% though a little more blurry than they should be. Neither the smiley faces nor dollar signs look correct at either zoom level.

What the heck is going on here? I'm pretty sure this is a Chrome problem because I've haven't noticed these problems in any other programs. I was going to include the icons from Firefox in the comparison but they all match the actual icon images perfectly, so there's nothing to see.
