Solution 1:

Figured out the issue for me, I had an Arial Black Italic font in my Windows Fonts that was causing that issue, removing it solved the issue.

1. Start -> Run : Type "%windir%\fonts" -> hit Enter
2. Find the "Arial Black Italic" font, move it to a temporary location (say My Documents)
3. Restart Chrome

You should be all good now ... there are people out there who have had luck by removing all the Helvitica fonts, not sure how that would help.

Solution 2:

Mine's not rendering any on that page in italic, you should should be able to target it with

h1, h2 {font-style:normal;}

Solution 3:

just add

font-weight: bold;

and it will be ok.

Solution 4:

just set css to:

font-weight: 900;
