Chrome forcibly use Microsoft YaHei on Windows 10 when SimSun is installed and user explicitly chooses to use.

Reported by bigslow...@gmail.com, Mar 12 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Windows 10 Simplified Chinese version
2. Install Chrome Stable (48+)

What is the expected behavior?
Use of Simsun on where they should as Simplified Chinese version of Windows have them.

What went wrong?
All fonts goes to YaHei (Fig.1) even when I EXPLICITLY set font settings to use SimSun (Fig.2) using Chrome itself or Advanced Font Settings extension.

PS. I am aware of  bug #579842  and personally enjoy SimSun and somewhat dislike YaHei.

Did this work before? Yes On Windows 8.1 and earlier.

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

If you need to use YaHei as a fallback mechanism, please also reset font setting to YaHei, instead of disregarding user's explicit setting to use SimSun like what it is now.

Additionally, when I turn off DirectWrite in chrome://flags, the SimSun font is used as expected.
