Font rendering is broken both in the GTK GUI and web-pages.

Reported by omysliv...@gmail.com, May 26 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://chromiumbugs.appspot.com/?

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Microsoft's TrueType core fonts.
2. Configure fontconfig to use these fonts. Disable the rest world ugliness, web-fonts and the like.
3. Open any web page and see your eyes bleeding out.

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome(ium) working as it was before.

What went wrong?
Font rendering is broken both in the GTK GUI and web-pages.

Font's rendering seems nearly completely broken. It looks like fontconfig configuration is completely overridden.
Small glyph are rendering badly like no bytecode info present and freetype2 bytecode interpreter (BCI) aren't working (wild guess, actually).
Large glyph are subpixilized even if it's explicitly disabled in fontconfig.

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 60.0.3107.4  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Linux debian 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.25-1 (2017-05-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Does anybody check the builds?
