Aliased text. Again

Few days ago many texts (chrome included) started to look aliased, just like they were when they introduced GPU acceleration. Were there any changes?

I remember when they introduced DirectWrite rendering and people were complaining about the changed look for the fonts, they then added an entry in about:config with a list of fonts that people wanted to keep rendered like before. Maybe look up the name of that about:config setting. They might have just changed the default value for it and removed some fonts like Verdana. If it's like this, you'd just add it back to fix your issue.

I can't see that stuff here on Linux, I think, so can't help searching (at least I can't see anything suspicious when I search for "font" in about:config here).
