Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.50 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open Chrome, possibly navigate to Wikipedia. What is the expected behavior? Chrome should render DejaVu Sans as sans-serif. What went wrong? Chrome renders some foreign ugly font as sans-serif. Did this work before? Yes 59.0.3071.71 Chrome version: 60.0.3112.50 Channel: beta OS Version: Debian testing Flash Version: My default font for alias sans-serif is DejaVu Sans, as can be seen by using fc-match: $ fc-match sans-serif DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" After upgrading Chrome from version 59 to 60, text everywhere in Chrome, in user interface and in web pages, is rendered in some ugly non-sharp font. In the attached image (also here https://i.imgur.com/4gw19N0.png) there is a comparison with current Firefox which still uses correct sans-serif. Even the GTK open file dialog is affected. serif is also wrong.

The problem is in Debian package in libfreetype6 that switched to new interpreter in Debian testing. I don't know the details, but the following environment variable goes back to old font rendering: export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35" I didn't reboot my PC after system upgrade so most programs were using the old library and that's why I could see both versions at the same time I guess... Please close the issue.
