Comment:

 I reproduced this. Disabling our font limits allows the text to render
 properly.

 It's interesting that zoom also fixes it. I wonder if we just need to
 schedule a CSS reflow after we begin limiting fonts, or if this is due to
 the fallback fonts that get used while web-fonts load (#8455).

 I would say this is a pretty damn serious usability issue.. Certainly not
 something that should be ignored forever. Unfortunately, it will probably
 require me to understand even more deep magic about CSS rendering
 behaviors to fix :/.
