We've noticed that when you switch between HP and other pages on http://mikrobill.com (not only) header menu text changes its appearance. On the HP it is thinner than on other pages.

It turns out that if I disable the following rule everything goes back to normal:

  #showcase #screenshots img {
    -webkit-transform: perspective(600px) rotateY(-4deg);
  }

I tried to apply this rule to other elements and play with values, but even perspective(0px) rotateY(0deg) produces the same result: totally unrelated element's text renders thinner that it must be.

Tested in Chrome 18.0.1025.142 and in nightly 5.1.5 (7534.55.3, r112532). Results are the same.
