Binary package hint: chromium-browser

I've set up a test to demonstrate the problem.

This page uses a normal font-face of "Bitstream Charter" (you'll need to have that font installed in order for the comparison to work):

This page uses a ttf version of the same exact font, loaded via the CSS3 @font-face element:

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.
