So just updated to Chrome 37 and it seems to have really screwed up the default fonts.

Same issue here. It looks atrocious...

----------

The default fonts on Macrumors or just in general?

In general for me. It does not look like a MR site issue at all.

Looks to be a known issue as other people are complaining. I'm on my Windows work machine at the moment and Chrome is almost unusable in this mess. At least I have IE & Firefox....
 
Ok, last post from me and a fix:

If you don't like the new chrome fonts rendering, type "chrome://flags" in the address bar, press enter and then enable "disable direct write" & restart chrome.
 
Other forums I visit I don't see the font change. I wonder if it is a VB issue?
 
[MOD NOTE]
Moving from the Feedback forum to the Applications forum, since this an app related issue not a Macrumor's issue.

I'd say it is a Macrumors issue as I only see a font problem on this website. The other fora I visit are OK.Also it isn't a Mac app issue. I mainly browse here on my work PC.

I say it's a Chrome issue. Nothing on MacRumors has changed, but Chrome did, and that's when the font issue arose.
