Chrome uses FreeType, right? In case this is true, I really wonder
what's going on...
Chrome doesn't necessarily use FreeType, it depends on the platform. More specifically, it uses the Skia library that has several 'font host' implementations depending on the platform it runs on. On OS X, I believe it uses platform-specific APIs to render text / glyphs.

Thanks for your offer. I think we need assistance from the Chrome
developers. Is there a bug report already for this issue?
