Use http://mactype.googlecode.com/ for now instead.

Tried MacType - yes, it's an alternative...but it's nowhere near as good as 
gdipp. After playing for about 30 mins, promptly uninstalled it and put gdipp 
back on. Until issue with Chrome gets resolved, I guess will have to use Opera.

I've never heard of this MacType. Could someone show it off with a screenshot?

Tried Mactype, and want to confirm that it is not nearly as good as gdipp. It 
does have a user-friendly interface which gdipp doesn't, and has some options, 
but I couldn't get it to render non-hinted fonts as good as gdipp. (For my 
taste the non-hinted fonts are perfect, because they show the best shapes, and 
gdipp managed to draw them very nicely. Mactype just makes the shapes look very 
strange.)

But even if you prefer hinting on your fonts, as I understand, mactype is 
useless for Chrome! It doesn't seem to affect how Chrome renders fonts! So 
while, yes, installing mactype instead will fix the current gdipp/chrome 
problem, you could easily do the same by adding chrome to the gdipp exception 
list, and get the same result. (I have confirmed this by going to multiple 
pages in chrome and other browsers under mactype, the difference is enormous. 
Chrome looks just like it did without mactype/gdipp.) Gone back to gdipp now.

^ The latter portion of your comment is simply incorrect. MacType provides full 
Chrome 18 support. Something else is interfering with your setup.

Also, if you're using Mactype, be sure you're using the LCD profile and not the 
default.  The LCD profile looks identical to GDIPP.  The other nice thing about 
Mactype is MS Excel behaves properly, too.
