Inconsistency of text path use on different layers?

Project Member Reported by ebra...@gnu.org, Mar 19 2016

Issue description

Version: 49.0.2623.87 (Official Build)
OS: Win10, highres display (200%)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open
data:text/html,<div style="font-family: sans-serif; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed;"><a href="">Array Array Array</a>,</div><div style="font-family: sans-serif; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><a href="">Array Array Array</a>,</div>
2. Ctrl+A

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Where the gap is coming from? As https://codereview.chromium.org/1474673003 shouldn't both line be identical?

Reproable on Canary 51.0.2684.0 (Official Build) also,  http://crbug.com/404597#c70  is similar to this I'd guess

I didn't check yet but it seems this to be a HiDPI only issue

optimizeLegibility explicitly turns on kerning which optimizeSpeed doesn't do quite yet. Both use the same text path though.

We do plan to turn on kerning by default at some point but given that it's likely to break a lot of content we need to be very careful.

Hmm, but couldn't anything be done about the gap of end of second line as interestingly it is introduced in Chrome 49? On Chrome 48 the two line had different rendering just like now but without this suspicious gap, not a major issue anyway but well, maybe is indicating some other issue.

Yeah, it's all temporary, we'll get to it once complex text has been on for a release and the flood of bugs quiet down.

Thanks ebrahim!
