-----------------------------------------------------

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Google Chrome v37+ 
2. Enable DirectWrite in chrome://flags
3. Look the fonts rendering

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The fonts are rendered badly compared to Chrome 36- (fonts are thinner and with 
bad hinting/kerning, they are difficult to read, they look like in Internet 
Explorer).

Additional Info:
With Chrome 36- and MacType all the fonts in Chrome looks perfect, wonderful to 
read. 
Now with Chrome 37 there is no more options to have a good font rendering in 
Chrome, also when DirectWrite is disabled in Chrome settings the hinting are 
completely distorted.
