I'm experiencing a font issue with Helvetica Neue using Google Chrome Version 23.0.1271.101 on my Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.5

Characters are displayed within boxes.

Prolific on Stack Exchange sites such as Stack Overflow this appears in the user profile areas like Accounts:

Loading the same pages in Safari has no issue - the fonts appear normal as expected.

In Chrome, if I load Developer Tools and change the elements font-family the page renders correctly.

CSS specifying Helvetica Neue

`body { font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; }`

CSS without Helvetica Neue 

`body { font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; }`

To assure standard Mac fonts, in Font Book I selected *File » Restore Standard Fonts...* which did not solve the issue. There are no reported font conflicts in Font Book.

My system has Helvetica Neue installed:

Researching, I found a similar question here of [Helvetica font only corrupted in Chrome on OS X](https://superuser.com/questions/510922/helvetica-font-only-corrupted-in-chrome-on-os-x); however, no solution.

How can I resolve Helvetica Neue font rendering issues with Google Chrome browser?
