Subpixel font hinting is not applied on Twitter card on Google search result

Reported by bwsta...@gmail.com, May 17 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Type 'google earth' on google.com 
2. See Twitter cards below googleearth Twitter account
3. The text looks somewhat blurry, and magnifier shows grayscale antialiasing rather than subpixel hinting

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should use subpixel font hinting whenever possible

What went wrong?
Some parts of texts have grayscale antialiasing

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0

I came from https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/1547, probably somewhat related and affected.

Attaching a screenshot on Chrome. Firefox applies subpixel hinting here.

Able to reproduce this issue on Win-10 using chrome reported version #58.0.3029.110 and latest canary #60.0.3103.0.

This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M30 old builds. 

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!

The layer is composited due to the translate3d(0, 0, 0) on the div that encloses the cards. It is not just the twitter cards - I get news cards and they have the same property. Composited layers do not use LCD text because we cannot guarantee that they are integer pixel aligned.

We could take it up with the search team to remove the unnecessary translate.
