Hi,
I'm running the same version of Chrome & Firefox on both Windows XP & Windows 8.1.
On Windows XP, my Drupal 7 was rendered consistently across Chrome, Firefox & IE 8.
On Windows 8.1, Chrome & IE text renders are identically out of alignment. However, Firefox still renders exactly as on Windows XP.
As I checked with Chrome Developer Tools->Computed->Rendered Fonts
On Windows XP is Verdana 7 glyphs.
On Windows 8.1 is Verdana 6 glyphs.
What does make it 7 glyphs on Windows XP whereas 6 glyphs on Windows 8.1 ?
I heard that Chrome & IE supports something about HD DPI which affects the font display on Windows 8.1, is it the culprit ?
Many thanks

A crapshoot in the dark may be that there is some sort of fallback glyph for XP.
