 Awkward letter spacing on BlinkMacSystemFont
 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=627609
 > Github.com just rolled out a change to their fonts, placing -apple-
 system and BlinkMacSystemFont at the top of their font stack.
 >
 > On Mac, things look awkward.
 > The attached screenshot clearly shows the text looking sensible in
 Safari and difficult in Chrome.
 >
 > In addition to being used on Github, DevTools uses the systemfont
 internally, and we've noticed some odd spacing/kerning/tracking in our
 text as well.
