MacOS – After Mavericks upgrade Chrome font is terrible

fontgoogle-chromemacos

I just upgrade to Mavericks and had some issues. Out of all the issues, one that I get frustrated the most is Chrome browser is not displaying font like it use to be. Here are two images taken from Safari and Chrome to compare.

Chrome Browser

Safari:
Safari Browser

As you can see, comparing both Safari and Chrome, fonts on Chrome are more bold. I use Chrome mostly for my development and the font use in this design is Open Sans font-weight 300.

Is this normal or there is a fix to have Chrome render the fonts more finely as Safari does?

It's not a Mavericks issue.

Google Chrome has (currently) a bad support of Webfonts.
