Web fonts look jagged

Reported by tigerhaw...@gmail.com, Apr 12 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3067.6 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://amphibiandisease.org/dashboard.php

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit a site

What is the expected behavior?
Smooth fonts

What went wrong?
A picture is worth a thousand words ...

This regression happend ~M57, though I restart my whole browser only infrequently, so its certainly possible I skipped a whole version with the issue.

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? Yes M55 for sure

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 59.0.3067.6  Channel: dev
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

My system also has Roboto installed natively, as well as the streamed web font.

Note in the attached screenshot of Edge as a counterexample, the fonts are beautiful.

Thanks for the issue.
Tested the issue on windows 7 using chrome version 59.0.3069.1 with the URL 
https://amphibiandisease.org/dashboard.php.The web fonts are not displayed under the chart.
Please find the attached screen shot and confirm if anything missed here.

Thanks,

Kavvaru, you should still see jaggies in the dropdowns, but you can also change the "sort by" to "species" to see the species list underneath.

I even see it in about:chrome, for example (I was looking for my flag list, which seems to have migrated).

The only render-related flags I see are GPU rasterization and subpixel AA are both enabled on this machine.

I can confirm that - at least Roboto w/o hinting looks horrible. I have this problem after Windows 10 Creators Update.
