Text in Adobe Flash applications lacks anti-aliased text.

Reported by role...@gmail.com, Jun 7 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://www.iscribble.net/draw.html

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open and use iScribble or other Adobe Flash applications
2. Observe the jagged, aliased (non-ClearType) text rendering

What is the expected behavior?
Text is rendered smoothly, like in the rest of the browser.

What went wrong?
As of Chrome v51, text in some Adobe Flash applications display text without anti-aliased rendering, making them look jagged and difficult to read. This mostly happens in applications that has text that can be manipulated (highlighted, typed, copied, etc.), not all Adobe Flash-based apps have this issue.

Version 51.0.2704.103 m (64-bit) of Chrome still has this issue. I believe the "patch" for this bug has already been filed in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=615375 ; any ETA when the fix will go live?
