WebKit: Blurry text with css scale + translate3d

Webkit treats 3d transformed elements as textures instead of vectors in order to provide hardware 3d acceleration. The only solution to this would be to increase the size of the text and downscaling the element, in essence creating a higher res texture.

See here:

Note that antialiasing is still underpar (stems are lost) so I’m beefing up the text with a bit of text shadow.
