Try triggering the CSS 3d Transform mode with webkit. this changes the way chrome renders
-webkit-transform: rotate(.7deg) translate3d( 0, 0, 0);
edit
There also a Webkit only style declaration -webkit-font-smoothing
which takes the values
none
subpixel-antialiased
antialiased
where subpixel-antialiased
is the default value.
Alas, the subpixel antialias is no good solution for rotated text. The rendering machine cant handle that. The 3d transform switches to just antialiased
. But we can try to set it directly.
