We use Python for our introduction course (still 2.x due to a library incompatibility) and Java for the next level course.
After that, it's about 90% Java, with C++ for certain courses. Only exception I can think of is Databases, where we use MySQL and write programs to interface with it in mostly PHP (but also some Java at the end).
Is the problem with Chrome or the OS and font selection? I think everything renders on my Win 7 + FX 30 setup I'm using now. Generally, I have the best success with Win 8 + IE 11.
Interesting. I got my current city as choice #2 for my state (Lookout Mountain, GA). My fiancee and I are considering moving to Greenville, which is my top result for SC.
