Roboto font in Chrome is not shown properly

I've been working for a client site and I have problem with rendering of Roboto font.

In Chrome (ver. 43.0.2357.65 m) all the various weights of Roboto looks same. Here is the example: Left is Mozilla Firefox, right is Chrome http://i.stack.imgur.com/dX4Lx.jpg

Do you have any idea what's wrong with it?

thank you

Well, it's such a shame, but I have had old version of Roboto installed on my PC.
Since I deleted, everything works fine again.

I should facepalm myself hard..

If you are using Adobe's Creative Cloud and you have Roboto set as a font, you may run into issues where all things in Chrome then get Roboto Bold. I disabled the font from Adobe Fonts and it fixed my issue, but in some Google products like GMAIL, Sans Serif is bolded and you can't turn off the bold. I don't know why and I can't find any good information on how to resolve that.
