Renders correctly in 57.0.2950.0 for me on Win10 High-DPI for me. Could you please reset on the latest canary version?

Still reproduced on 57.0.2950.0. I’m using Win10 in Japanese locale.

It's actually strange, we pick system's menu font, so if you're using Japanese locale, it should be Yu Gothic UI, not Segoe UI. I don't have Japanese locale Windows around me atm, I'll check later.

Oh, I misunderstand! `system-ui` uses Segoe UI (that uses Yu Gothic UI through Windows’ fontlink feature), but it’s not. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yu Gothic UI also have light, semilight, regular, semibold, and bold. I think `system-ui` does not use them correctly, but I found there is a font naming bug here. It seems like a bug of Windows 10, not Chromium. I’ll feedback this to Microsoft.
