Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: N/A What is the expected behavior? I want to be able to assume that Roboto is present as a system font when I ship an app, extension, or web page for Chrome. Without this, I have to balance the runtime cost of including a web font, with the benefit of having cross-platform visual consistency. What went wrong? I cannot expect Chrome installs on Windows and OS X to have Roboto available, thus can not use it in the way that many designers use Arial or Helvetica Neue. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 51 Channel: stable OS Version: Flash Version: I recognize that this could be complicated.

Why should a *browser* be bloated with bundled fonts? It’s a browser, not an office suite.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. It's not really feasible for us to bundle fonts with chrome as that would increase the binary size of the installer substantially. We are looking at ways of reducing the cost of using web fonts but bundling sadly isn't really practical. |
