On Chrome it displays perfectly (or falls back to sans-serif???) but

force it to use sans-serif, which does display nicely.

Here's the link to a screen capture:

that shows the leading vertical edges of n,u,h,p don't display; x is
also broken.

That looks like trying to display a font using lines less than one pixel
wide, and only the anti-aliasing being visible.

Do you have your screen DPI set correctly?  You're not using a faked up
DPI to change font sizing, like some people do.  That's the sort of
problem I'd expect to see from doing stunts like that.

Thanks for responding Tim.

I haven't mucked with the display settings. Xorg.0.log says my DPI is 96x96.

The monitor is a Hanspree Hi221D, 1680x1050.

Side note: this is the only font I've seen act like this. (Not so sure I like the idea of a webpage pulling in a font family when we have perfectly fine fonts provided by fedora ;)
