Invalid rendering in Linux

[aaronw2]

In the Chrome 131.0.6778.264 browser when this is enabled text that uses non-standard fonts is often unreadable in Linux. I have seen this problem on sites like Etrade and thedailybeast.com. Thedailybeast.com uses a georgia font and etrade.com uses their own custom font.
Disabling this feature in Chrome fixes the issue for me.

I should mention that this is the flag 'Enable Fondations font backend'

Thanks for the report. I believe this is the same bug as tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/387516734. We have a fix in progress.

Yes, see my comment here: https://g-issues.chromium.org/issues/387516734#comment13 - as far as we know this only occurs when full hinting is requested, so as a workaround on Linux, you may configure your system wide rendering settings to be set to "light", or use chrome://flags to disable FontationsFontBackend until the fix is out.
