For some reason google chrome is only displaying verdana when normally it should be times new roman or arial. Any thoughts? I tried to uninstall/reinstall, clear cache/browser settings, even deleting the font verdana, but it makes no difference.

lol i've been battling this all day today too, actually.
my chrome actually started super fucked up on boot and every single tab was blank/loading with nothing coming up. i tried a reinstall which didn't help, but rebooting my pc did and now i'm stuck with this awkward font.
Well, I'll let you know if I discover anything but so far my only solution is to switch to firefox even deleting verdana just makes the default font tahoma, which you can't delete. maybe its a registry setting for chrome?
Yo I wonder if this is why I thought the font in my gchat changed. I use chrome at work but it looks normal on Firefox at home. Haven't noticed it on other websites tho
I use Chrome/hangouts across 3 machines and don't notice anything.
Do the old reliable, disable all addons and see if it improves?
None of that fixed it, i literally tried every route and considered just reformatting my PC, but heres what worked:
go to the chrome.exe file > properties > compatibility tab > run this program in compatibility mode for: vista
though other windows versions may work too, such as XP. Solved the problem for now!
Didn't work for me but as soon as my friend updated versions they started having the font issue as well.
In fact the web browser will boot and run but wont function if compatibility mode is checked.
Updated my Chrome, it somewhat changed a bit ... i'm not too fussed personally but my Hangout font changed for sure somewhat.

In addition to 50 security fixes, the Chrome 37 adds Directwrite support in Windows, making for significant improvements in font rendering.
Google said in a blog post, "Before Directwrite, Chrome used the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) to render text. GDI dates back to the mid-80's and reflects the engineering tradeoffs of that time, particularly for slower, lower-resolution machines.
"The switch to Directwrite has been a top user request for years, and required extensive re-architecting and streamlining of Chrome's font rendering engine."
