Just discovered this bug when I tried to implement optimizeLegibility for my website; found this report thru a search.

A Chromium 6/Linux user reported odd behavior in blocks of text. As he mentioned on typophile [http://bit.ly/d4t3sd], "the most reliably broken page I’ve seen is one where the text block is unfolded by animation".

Screenshot attached.

Hello,
I have also font/text problems in Ubuntu Linux 10.10 with the latest Chromium build.
See the attached picture. It also show the current font-settings in Ubuntu.
The webpage is http://planet.ubuntu.com

$ chromium-browser --version 
Chromium 10.0.618.0 Ubuntu 10.10

$ lsb_release  -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu

$ uname -a

The text is OK in Firefox 4.

I also discovered this problem today. Still present. :/

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.83 Safari/534.13

Similary to ignoring font-variant: small-caps,
enabling  text-rendering:optimizeLegibility,
also looks to ignore text-align: justify!

I'm not going to get to this bug before my leave.  As it is a font bug, I'll CC bashi in case he is interested.

Looks like this problem was fixed on Linux, but still present on Windows.
