Chrome and fonts issues

Question

This is an issue I noticed in an application that is using icon fonts through all fonts are having issues. Basically the issue is that when I leave the application in a background tab for awhile, sometimes when I come back the fonts get reset to something (most but not all icon fonts show up as squares) and when I move my mouse over the screen, the fonts are switched back to what they should be.

I have made a video to show the issue:

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

It seems to be a known issue in Chrome as it's been answered here :

Icon-font sporadically shows up as squares and back to icon on hover

It's a little annoying but I guess it won't be too much of a problem since they come back when you hover the page again and I'm sure it'll be fixed in the next versions of Chrome.
