I'll just put a little note on my site instructing users of Chrome on Windows to do that :)

It has been YEARS of putting up with the horrible Google font rendering in Google's browser on Windows, all the while IE and Firefox render them perfectly.

or run the new 64-bit chrome. I could never get the DirectWrite flag to work for me. Finally I got things working via registry changes, but I undid them and installed the new 64-bit beta and it's been amazing.

Here is a newer Chrome with DirectWrite enabled by default: http://i.imgur.com/yrmxzkg.png

I still prefer Firefox.
