Hi, I'm also affected by this bug. Doing
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.8 before starting chromium makes chromium's UI render correctly, but makes the rest of the cinnamon UI very large. chromium only seems to check the value on startup, so you can reset the value to 1.0 after startup. (I disagree about this bug being minor, but I'm more interested in seeing it fixed than quibbling about severities. :-) -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
