Hi,

Just this past week, the Lato font isn’t rendering properly all the time in Chrome browser only (Chrome is up to date). My site renders fine on IE, Firefox, but not Chrome. I’ve cleared the cache. It seems this is a known Chrome bug (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=336476) but I don’t understand how to fix it. Any guidance?

Hi, i just tested your site on latest Chrome v39, it looks fine on my side.

Right…that’s just it. On my desktop, Chrome renders it fine. But on my laptop, it doesn’t. The link I provided (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=336476) shows that it has to do with external Font not rendering until forced repaint. It doesn’t happen in all Chrome sessions, only some. Is there some way to use CSS to ensure that the font always renders? Does it have something to do with fetching an external google font instead of it being embedded? I’m not sure if I’m thinking about it correctly…

i wouldn’t worry about it if doesn’t happen in all sessions and if it is a chrome bug, just report it to google by clicking to “Report an issue” in Chrome > About page. They can fix it with an update. Google really pays attention on feedback.
