> I noted on the bug listed against the Chrome project http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=98392 that this bug does appear to be partially fixed, but it seems that the fix has made a mess of kerning when text is shown enlarged - see comment 11 on the on the crbug entry, or given the test page above, zoom in a couple a times using the buttons and you'll see the text kerning as shown in the attached image is less than ideal.

If I understand correctly, the patch from https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75091 does fix exactly this. Consider this screenshot: philbit.com/without_vs_with_75091.png (on the left is WebKit trunk and on the right is WebKit trunk with the 75091 patch). As you pointed out, it's a bit difficult to see, but the kerning appears to be correct on the right. Therefore, I think this is a duplicate of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75091; do you agree?
