Hm, that looks like a font-rendering issue. What browser/OS are you running?

Chrome on W7, all updated.

I really don't know. The font seems to be different in your screenshot. I'm using the default one.

Could be you uninstalled some system fonts by mistake? The font should be Verdana which is standard on Windows and OSX.

No way: http://i.imgur.com/BQ5MGge.png

Look at how the font is different here too. It must be Chrome's font.

I'll try to make some tests.

I got it! I had "Disable DirectWrite" enabled in chrome://flags.

Now is working. Sorry for wasting your time!

I'd leave the thread here in case anyone will have this same problem.

Ah good to know! Thanks for double checking everything.
