Chrome UI should consistently use system font.

Reported by itai...@gmail.com, Jan 27 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.119 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open chrome://settings or other chrome:// Material Design pages.
2. Observe.

What is the expected behavior?
It should use system-ui for all its content in unity with the rest of the browser’s UI.

What went wrong?
<body>’s `font-face` lists `Roboto, system-ui, sans-serif` which means the Roboto font always gets used, since it is included with Chrome.

Some dialogs have `-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased` which make them look out of place.

Top right username is always displayed in Arial.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.119  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.13.3
Flash Version:

As a side note, material design apps from Google on iOS always use system-ui font too.

Able to reproduce this issue on reported version 64.0.3282.119 and on latest canary 66.0.3334.0 using Mac 10.13.1,Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Observations: 
In Ubuntu -- Roboto, Ubuntu ,Arial, sans-serif is seen
In Windows -- Roboto, 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, sans-serif is seen
In Mac -- Roboto, system-ui, sans-serif is seen.

This issue is seen from M60. Hence considering this issue as Non-Regression and marking as Untriaged. Could someone from UI>Browser>WebUI team please have a look at this issue.

Thanks!

WebUI typograhpy has been recently updated as part of  issue 849857  (it still uses Roboto though). This is intentional (UX team choice) and I don't expect it to change soon.
