Chrome 37 adds support for DirectWrite, Thus Font Rendering will be better (For Windows Users)

- Finally, Chrome 37 has been released and I think the good think about the release is that they've added support for DirectWrite.
- According to Chromium blog,
Chrome 37 adds support for DirectWrite, an API on Windows for clear, high-quality text rendering even on high DPI displays. Before DirectWrite, Chrome used the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) to render text. GDI dates back to the mid-80's and reflects the engineering tradeoffs of that time, particularly for slower, lower-resolution machines.
