Lato Broken in Chrome and IE about googlefontdirectory HOT 7 OPEN

[deleted comment]

I'm having the same issue with the Lato font in IE. It's rendering in other 
browser fine, even Chrome. I've attached images of how it's rendering in IE vs 
Firefox

I am seeing the same results.  I have stopped using Google fonts for any 
production work.

I used the workaround described in Issue 9 -- calling the different font 
variants separately in an IE-only style sheet -- and Lato is working fine for 
me in all major browsers now.

Lato doesn’t even work on the Google Web Fonts site in Chrome. 

It actually crashes the page most of the time. Especially if you click "View 
all styles."

Would love to see this fixed. 

The behavior that I see is closer to what is described in comment #2. Lato 
appears as a sans-serif font in chrome and firefox, but the rendering is "off" 
in chrome. I've included sample text for reference.

BAD

    This is what the Google Webfont directory gives us. WOFF!  Looks bad on Chrome.
    No antialiasing.. :p

GOOD

    This is what it should be. 
    Problems are that the fonts are hosted on the server.. no cdn.. makes sad panda's.

    I downloaded the Fontsquirrel Droidsans webfont kit. Uploaded it to my server. And change the 
    CSS file so it looks exact like this:
