Fix Google Chrome Corrupted Font (Helvetica Neue)

There is an issue that may occur in Google Chrome where the font renders incorrectly (on Windows). This seems to happen when you have the font Helvetica Neue installed on your system. Here is how I fixed it:

  1. Browse to this file: (YOURUSERNAME is the actual username of your account)
    C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User StyleSheets\Custom.css
  2. Open Custom.css (with Notepad).
  3. Add these lines: (copy-paste)
    @font-face { font-family: 'helvetica neue'; src: local('Arial'); }

    @font-face { font-family: 'helvetica neue'; font-weight:bold; src: local('Arial'); }
  4. Save and exit the file. Now check if the problem is solved.
