Google Chrome version 7.0.517.44 in my Fedora 13 box renders fonts in a funny way even after the instalation of the windows fonts.
Fixed the problem creating the file ~/.fonts.conf with the following xml code:
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
