Apparently it’s a known Chrome bug. There’s a css-only workaround that should solve the problem:
body {
-webkit-animation-delay: 0.1s;
-webkit-animation-name: fontfix;
-webkit-animation-duration: 0.1s;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: 1;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
}
@-webkit-keyframes fontfix {
from { opacity: 1; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}
It seems like Chrome just needs to be told to repaint the text
