Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Just noting that the issue above is closed as WontFix, as the original
 change was a security fix:
 > This is due to a change, rogerm@ landed in M74.
 https://crrev.com/9e68c4db781b71e9ea772ab60d34c7f10e100b57, which is due
 to a security requirement that I cannot elaborate on, yet. Sorry, but I
 have to mark this as Won't fix.

 > This is closed as Won't Fix because allowing the website to style the
 font enables it to steal data that the user has not selected to share with
 the website via side channel attacks. We may need to change the entire
 interaction pattern but don't have anything ready, yet.
