Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Chrome
2. View any web page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see fonts render as normal.  When updated to dev build 18, all font 
rendering is broken and unreadable.

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.

I can confirm this is happening on my site as well. It used to affect text 
rendered in Chrome with a CSS text-shadow property only. Subsequent Chrome 
updates fixed the issue after the text rendering engine was switched back to an 
older one. Now with development build 18, all text is affected.

Happening to me too. Looks exactly like the above screenshots, disabling gdipp 
fixes it.

I've noticed that if you change the fonts used by Google Chrome to something 
else will more than likely fix it. 

The font that was affected for me, was "Arial" - so I changed the font to Segoe 
WP Black (one of the Windows Phone 7 fonts).

Chrome 18 Beta in Windows 7 64 with gdipp. See my screenshots attached. Some 
text becomes entirely unreadable.

Chrome 18 has been promoted to the beta channel, so this is afecting many more 
people now. All text is unreadable when gdipp is enabled. Here's a brief 
explanation of what changed on the rendering engine:

some workaround. it's work for me 

1. load chrome://flags/
2. disable `GPU compositing on all pages`, `Composited render layer borders`, 
`GPU Accelerated Drawing`
3. relaunch Chrome

Comment #8 didn't work for me; those options were already disabled so I could 
only "enable" them. I did this for all three of them, restarted Chrome and the 
text still looks blurry. Using Chrome 18.0.1025.33 beta-m, gdipp 0.9.1
