Helvetica Neue doesn't render correctly...

Reported by brib...@labradorconnect.com, Feb 6 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to any site with Helvetica Neue
2. I fixed it with font replacement add-ons, but they didn't work on secure sites, so I removed them.

What is the expected behavior?
It should render correctly.

What went wrong?
The font is almost completely illegible. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
