Unrelated post, I know, but I needed somewhere to stick this info so I'd be able to find it myself in future.
Since version 37 (approximately), Chrome has had blurry, awful text by default. Not nice at all. Turns out the fix is pretty simple, but may not be permanent. I sincerely hope Google doesn't make DirectWrite a requirement. Anyway... to fix:
1). Go to chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write
2). At the top of your screen, highlighted in yellow, is an option to disable DirectWrite. Enable to this option.
3). Restart Chrome. Fixed!
