Poll: Do italics render well in your Android Chrome browser?

1 points by ezequiel-garzon ↗ HN
I.e., can you tell italic text from normal text? A comment made by klausa [1] 16 days ago made me feel better, as I was not alone in not being able to see italics properly rendered in my Android Chrome browser. (I own a Samsung Note 2.) I'm puzzled that, given all the resources at Google, this hasn't been solved by now (over a year!). Any thoughts on the reason behind this neglect?

Thanks!

Can you give an example page where it doesn't work?

The comment you're referring to mentions font boosting, which is a feature that changes font sizes on the page.
