Page text is blurry with high DPI on Linux in Chrome 69

Reported by cesp...@gmail.com, Sep 6

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://www.google.com/search?q=asdf

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set a high custom DPI setting (I use 128 for my 27" 4k monitor)
2. Observe that all text on all web pages is blurry

What is the expected behavior?
I expect the text to be rendered crisply, as it was in previous versions of Chrome and as it is in other browsers.

What went wrong?
Text is rendered in a slightly blurry way. In my experiments, it seems like the problem starts occurring with custom DPI settings of 116 or higher. When I set my DPI to 115, the problem goes away.

I've attached three files:

chrome_115.png shows the crisp text at 115 DPI in Chrome 69
chrome_116.png shows blurry text at 116 DPI in Chrome 69
firefox_116.png shows crisp text at 116 DPI in Firefox 62

Note that this problem is *only* about page content. All the text in the UI (including tab names, URL bar, bookmark names, and so on) looks crisp.

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: 69.0.3497.81  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

This may be a duplicate of  issue 881230  except there are two differences:

- My issue is high-DPI-specific (that isn't mentioned in  issue 881230 )
- My issue specifically does *not* appear with the UI text, only the page text
