Google Web Fonts not displaying correctly in Chrome on Windows 7

Question

I'm having a problem with a Wordpress based site I'm building on: In Chrome, on Windows 7, the body text on the sites' homepage is set to display as a Google Font. However the last line of the text is displaying as the default sans-serif font.

I have thought about asking about this on Wordpress.org but as the problem is confined to one browser on one OS (albeit the most commonly used browser on the most commonly used OS, natch) thought better to ask here. Have been looking all day and not seen anyone else have the same problem.

It's the latest version of Chrome and there is no problem in IE, Firefox, Opera etc. No problems (as yet...) on any other platforms at all.

There don't appear to be any problems with any other Google Fonts used in the site.

The site is currently hosted at http://best.videofeet.com

Upon inspection of the source there is no apparent reason why it would render like this.

I'm stumped.

Here's a link to an image of the problem (From VirtualBox on Mac - the only means I have available to me to replicate the bug as described by the client): http://imgur.com/XdJlCbc

OK, I'll take a stab at answering this now I've had a tinker. It looks like Josefin Sans does not have a glyph for ellipsis (…), so Chrome is swapping out that line. There are other people experiencing this with other Google fonts:

• https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/issues/detail?id=204
• http://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-problem-with-ellipsis-the-google-font-story

The lack of ellipsis can be tested here

Either swap the ellipsis for three periods and risk the wrath of typophiles, or change the font I'm afraid.
