Arch Linux

Description:

I'm not sure what changed, but Chromium has recently started displaying certain fonts - most notably monospace fonts - very ugly.

The attached image shows a screenshot from a web-based app (rundeck) that I've been using daily for months. That page used to display quite nicely, using either Courier New or Fixed font (I forget which) to display the monospace font. However, it now display in the ugly shrunken font you see.

Culprit seems to be the css that the app is using for those elements:

table.execoutput td.data {
border-left: 1px solid white;
white-space: pre;
font-family: "Lucida Console",courier,monospace;
padding: 1px 3px;
vertical-align: top;
}

Chromium used to render that well, but apparently no longer does.

I haven't updated any packages on the server that runs it in months, so I know for a fact that nothing has changed over there. Not sure what changed on the client side (chromium? font rendering?) but apparently some recent change is now causing this issue.

Anyone know what the problem is/how to work around?

Chromium version is 30.0.1599.66-1
