Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
I've set up a test to demonstrate the problem.
This page uses a normal font-family of "DejaVu Sans" (you'll need to have that font installed in order for the comparison to work):
http://
This page uses the same exact font, loaded via the CSS3 @font-face element:
http://
On my machine at least, the text is inexplicably much more spaced out in the @font-face version. Firefox and Epiphany (which also uses Webkit) render both pages identically.

Bitstream Charter, as donated to the X Consortium, was a Type1 font. Your @font-face is a TTF and likely to be very different; it's no surprise that the appearance would change.
