Chrome is rendering fonts with symbols. I have googled it, but cannot find an easy solution. Can't figure out if its linotype X or if its something else? Has this been discussed or does anyone know of a solution?

happened on my phone for a while but never had it on desktop/laptop.

It could be duplicated fonts causing a conflict (i.e x2 Arial fonts), or if you've downloaded 3rd party fonts online, sometime this can cause problems.
Try looking through your font list and remove any duplicates, or remove any 3rd party fonts. This should help!

i thought it was a Helvetica duplication problem on my machine. If you're sticking with Chrome, the only solution i've found is to turn your font management software off until you need it. Inelegant.

it does it on this machine as well. i switched off helvetica in fontexplorer and it was fixed.

this seemed to be a decent work around - placed this code into the custom CSS file for google under Library_application support_google_chrome_default_us... stylesheets_custom.css
If you can't find your library application in mac os 10.6 or above go to "go" and press alt once you are there and your library will appear...
@font-face { font-family: 'helvetica neue'; src: local('Arial'); }
@font-face { font-family: 'helvetica neue'; font-weight:bold; src: local('Arial'); }
@font-face { font-family: 'helvetica'; src: local('Arial'); }
@font-face { font-family: 'helvetica'; font-weight:bold; src: local('Arial'); }
