Reported by jif...@menlosecurity.com, Oct 18 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Write a very simple static HTML page like the one below:

   <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
   </head>
<body>
   <div><i>English</i></div>
   <div><i>中文</i></div>
</body>
</html>
2. Load this page in Chrome 61 on Windows 10. (Other OS including Linux, Mac, Windows 7 doesn't have this issue).

What is the expected behavior?
The Chinese Characters/Kanji should be displayed in italic.

What went wrong?
The Chinese Characters/Kanji is not displayed in italic.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

I was able to reproduce only on Windows 10. It seems that all other OSes are fine.

The provided test case renders in italic in both 59, 62, 63, and 64 for me on Windows 10. 

Would you mind providing a screenshot?
If you could also open the inspector, select the i element, go to the computed tab on the right and copy the content of the "Rendered Fonts" section that would be very valuable.

Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response.  My Chrome has been upgraded to version 62 automatically.  I am no longer able to reproduce the problem.  My original report was based on version 61 and now with version 62 the italic font displays correctly.  I am not able to downgrade to 61 for further testing.  Please go ahead close the ticket.  Thanks!

Status: Fixed (was: Unconfirmed)
Thanks for confirming, looks like it might have been a regression between 59 and 61.

If you see the problem again please comment on the bug and I'll reopen it.

Thanks!
