Today Google Chrome 37 got final and well... the fonts looking ugly. It looks unsharp like on most .NET programs. Is there a way to disable DirectWrite and get back to Chrome <= 36 font rendering?

EDIT: To show you what I mean, I took two screenshots of this website:

DirectWrite On:

DirectWrite Off:

As you can see, with DirectWrite activated the vertical lines are sometimes unsharp. Without DirectWrite the vertical lines are mostly sharp and exact on the pixels of the screen.

In order to disable DirectWrite.

Go to address bar and type chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write. There you will see the option to disable DirectWrite.
