My google chrome browser started behaving strangely concerning fonts rendering under Ubuntu 16.04:
It started happening today only in chrome. Firefox is all good. It appears that anti-aliasing settings in unity-tweak-tool doesn't have any effect in the referred problem. Just tried all of them with no avail.
Is anyone having the same issue?
I will appreciate any help.

Problem solved by "Resetting all to default" in chrome://flags and restarting the browser. Thanks for the help...

I found the culprit. I had the "GPU Rasterization" Chrome Flag (chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization) set to "Force-enabled for all layers". Changing that back to "Default" and restarting Chrome fixed the issue.

I my case reset all flags was not enough. '#enable-gpu-rasterization' has to be set to Disabled to fix Fonts rendering issue. The default option is not always is 'Disabled'.

Have you checked your font settings within Chrome?
Settings > Advanced Settings > Web Content > Customize fonts. I would recommend trying to set them back to defaults first. Let me know if that does anything. – Cheesus Crust – 2017-08-02T13:18:07.540Type chrome://settings/fonts in chrome address bar to open fonts settings. See if any font was configured in bold type. – Biswapriyo – 2017-08-02T13:28:30.187
I'm having the same issue since a couple days ago. Running Linux Mint (the one based on Ubuntu 16.04). I just reset all my fonts and nothing. – Budius – 2017-08-02T18:42:41.487
@Budius Another thing to look for would be updates for Chrome itself. I have seen a number of questions today regarding Linux and Chrome that seem to have been fixed by updates. – Cheesus Crust – 2017-08-02T19:27:50.643
@CheesusCrust, i coudn't find this path of settings in chrome. It appears that all chrome settings are accessible only through
chrome://settings. – Guilherme Souza – 2017-08-02T20:42:49.370I was leading through the UI without pictures, hah. The link @Biswa gave you should send you to the same place I was trying to. – Cheesus Crust – 2017-08-02T20:44:16.460
@CheesusCrust, ok, i have:
standard font:Times New Roman;serif font:Times New Roman;sans-serif font:Arial;fixed width font:monospace. None in bold type. Just triedapt-get update/upgrade, reinstalled chrome in synaptic but still same issue. – Guilherme Souza – 2017-08-02T20:51:41.390
