Problems displaying custom font in Chrome (Open Sans)

Hi,
Have you noticed that Aqua theme custom font (Open Sans) is very narrow and hard to read in Google Chrome.
It isn’t just my set up by t the demo page in general.

If you look at the page in Chrome menu labels will be written in tiny narrow font, hard to read. Whilst in Firefox they will be nice and readable just like Open Sans should look.

I have noticed that for items where the font is squished, Chrome shows following CSS
font-family: inherit
instead of
font-family: ‘Open Sans’, arial, sans-serif;
Example items that behave this way: menu labels, headlines on home page like “Featured services”, footer text and others.

Since this is makes a big difference in displaying the site across different browsers, perhaps you would consider fixing this. If not, at least a hint how to fix it on my copy would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Kate
