Yesterday I install Chromium form ports and start use it. It is fast but I do not know why fonts are terrible and fonts are like Firefox and opera. I think I do not install webfonts, but I install webfonts.

I take three screenshots; two of them are English page and one of them in Persian. I had this problem before when I do not install webfonts, but after install webfonts, I do not have this problem with Firefox.

You might want to search on posts by 'Vermaden'. I know he knows very much about how to tweak your screen (and I still am hoping one day he will post a new tuto on how to make your desktop look like OS-X :P).
 
Yeah, these fonts look crap (compare them with the ones on toolbar on the top), I havent used chrome/chromium on FreeBSD, but latest Opera 10.6x has the same problem and I havent found a fix since 'new' Opera omits all config files that are responsible for font renderring (~/.fonts.conf / ~/.Xdefaults), so I just stick to Opera 10.10 now.

I have even submitted a BUG to Opera team, maybe Opera 11 would be better ...
 
but But please believe [me,] fonts are terrible in Chromium. change Changing fonts dose does not make good effect.
 
You might need to manually customize files (actually they are symlinks) in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d for your Persian fonts regarding font family, antialias and autohint.

If you set it correctly, you can see the same font in Chromium and Gnome terminal for Persian (change LANG to persian in Gnome terminal).

I use English and Korean, and I manually customize the fontconfig files so that DejaVu as my default English fonts and Nanum as my Korean fonts, both antialias and autohint on, and my desktop looks cool.
