[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#852944: chromium: Poor font rendering on vox.com

[Sam Morris]

Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-3
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Chromium renders the body text on vox.com poorly. Vertical strokes in
the 'T' and 'e' characters among others are too thick. Changing the text
zoom size makes everything look fine. Attached is a test case and
screenshot.

In Epiphany and Firefox the font used on the site looks fine.
