Chrome does not respect xfce font settings (antialiasing style)

Reported by yanp...@gmail.com, Feb 29 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Xfce uses ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml file to store X server settings. Chrome doesn't respect "Hinting style" (hinstyle) option.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Chrome only uses /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to check font settings. I can't set low hinting instead of full hinting, fonts look scary

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 48.0.2564.116  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

Chrome does not use xfce. Thus its settings have no effect on Chrome. Use fonts.conf instead.
