Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36 Example URL: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/README.html Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/README.html What is the expected behavior? Fonts should render with anti-aliasing and hinting. What went wrong? Fonts seem non anti-aliases and unhinted. Does it occur on multiple sites: No Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? N/A Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 60.0.3112.90 Channel: stable OS Version: Gentoo AMD64 Flash Version: Attached are two screenshots. The first is how the fonts look in Chrome (wrong rendering). The second is how they look in Firefox 55.0 (correct rendering.)

New profile with no extensions still shows the issue. However, I discovered that if I just go that URL and don't do anything, all looks file. As soon as I move the mouse over the text, then the font changes to "ugly". This also happens if I use ctrl+mwheel to change page zoom, or if I press F5. Then all the text on the whole page becomes ugly. If I scroll up/down, then random parts of the text become ugly, other parts stay fine. If I press Ctrl+F5, the text becomes good again. So basically, all is fine until I do anything on that page.

Oh, and another thing that might be relevant: If I close the tab and then go to that URL again in a new tab, the font is ugly. However, if I close the tab, then go to the "Clear Browsing Data" dialog, select "Cached images and files" and click "clear browsing data", and then go to the URL again, the font is fine.

realnc@ Thank you for the feedback. Retried the issue again on the latest Canary 62.0.3185 and latest stable 60.0.3112.90 on Windows 7,Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac OS 10.12.6. Unable to reproduce the issue by following the below steps. 1. Clicked on the link given. 2. Moved the mouse over the text and can see no ugly font. 3. Tried to zoom-in/zoom-out the page using ctrl+mousewheel and no issue are observed. 4. Pressed F5 and no ugly font is observed on the page. Please find the attached screen cast and let me know if anything missing from my end. Thanks..

Thanks for that. Indeed it seems to be the same issue. I disabled "GPU rasterization" in chrome://flags and the problem went away. Fonts look fine now! However, scrolling is now a lot slower in a lot of pages.

Btw, I'm on an nvidia GTX 980 Ti, with driver version 384.59.
