Incorrect font sizing for lang=zh-CN

Reported by dtark...@gmail.com, May 9 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 52.0.2730.0 (开发者内部版本) (32 位)
URLs (if applicable) : data:text/html,<div style='font-size: 8px'>I am 08px font</div><br><div style='font-size: 12px'>I am 12px font</div>
Other browsers tested: 
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari:
    Firefox: OK - 38.0.5
         IE: OK - 8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) chrome --lang=zh-CN
(2) Paste the above URL into the address bar

What is the expected result?

The 8px font should be smaller than the 12px font. If you increase the zoom level, this happens eventually, but at 100% zoom, the two lines of text are rendered at the same size.

What happens instead?

The two lines of text are rendered at the same size.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

This issue was first discovered on a Chinese language machine running 64-bit win7 but can be reproduced on an English machine by specifying the lang flag.

I've attached two screenshots, both taken from an English language win7 machine. One is taken with the --lang=en-US and the results are as expected. The other screenshot is with --lang=zh-CN where the text is the same size. The screenshot is taken with the default font for both languages, but can be reproduced even when other font families are specified.

Able to reproduce the issue on windows 7,Linux Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac 10.11.4 using chrome version 50.0.2661.94 and canary 52.0.2730.0.
This is non regression issue as the issue is seen from M30 builds.
Marking it as Untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks,

This is intentional, we set the minimum font sizes based on language to ensure legibility.
