Possible(?) Bug - Chat Font in Chrome

Hey, I ran into this today in Chrome and I'm not sure whether it's something on my end, or something about the default chat font, but I noticed that in the bolded result of a dice roll (in this case, it was /roll 2d6), both 6's and 9's are squashed and somewhat unreadable (that is, I know what they say, but they look squashed). I don't know if you specify a font for the chat display or if Chrome is picking one, but I thought I'd raise the issue. I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Here's the computer specs: OS: Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit Screen Res: 1280x1024 Browser: Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m Now, if nobody else has this problem, I chalk it up to poor rendering on this computer. However, if it's happening for other folks, it might be something to look into.
That's bizarre. I just tested it out and mine aren't squished. Computer stats are almost identical to yours as well, except I'm 64 bit (which shouldn't make a difference) Would it be possible (if you have it installed) to try it in Firefox and see if it's squished there as well?
That is very bizarre...

I ran into this as well. It has to do with the fact that your chrome is zoomed in or out. Hit ctrl-0 to reset the default zoom. It only happens on certain zoom levels.
I am reasonably sure - though I can't check at the moment - that Chrome wasn't zoomed, but I could be wrong. I think, though, it may be an interaction between zoom level and aspect ratio and display resolution - on my laptop (which I'm using now) the resolution is 1366x768, and zooming does not affect the numbers (they look fine regardless of zoom). However, the computer I was using earlier had a different aspect ratio and may have been zoomed slightly - I'll have to check this evening. Thanks!
Quick follow-up: I'm back on the machine that was squishing 6's and 9's, and I'm guessing it's some weird confluence of resolution, graphics card, and aspect ratio. The offending machine is running at 1280x1024, with extended desktop (onto an identical monitor), some integrated Intel video chipset, and Chrome is at normal zoom (100%), but it's still squishing the digits. I notice that if I zoom in one step - to 110%, the squishing vanishes, and if I zoom out to 90%, it also vanishes. So the iffy area is right at 100% zoom. In the end, I'm not sure this is one worth chasing, though - it's obvious enough that it would be a common report if everyone was seeing it. Thanks again!
