Add option to disable local font loading.

Reported by bran...@promotionsonly.com.au, Jan 31 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.119 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
*Feature request*

What is the expected behavior?
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=472136

What went wrong?
Unable to disable local resource loading (loading fonts that are found on the computer instead of loading fonts from the @ff imports.)
This has caused a couple of occurrences of text to "shift around" because it was loading a local version of the font which is somehow different to the web resource version of the font.

I've attached a screenshot of supposedly the same font (both from typekit, one downloaded locally, one being served as a web resource) and you can see a big difference in where the font's baseline is, what I'm essentially asking for is a way to toggle off local resource/font loading so one, we can get a better idea of how the layout will look and two, we (developers) will get a better idea of the actual font loading performance.

Can't really word it well, guess that's why nobody understood the other issue I've used as a reference.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.119  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

tl;dr

Add option to enable/disable local font loading pls :)
I understand HOW to view what font is being rendered in the computed styles section but I'm just asking for a way to disable chrome's load font from local resource feature.
