After the latest update, GDI font rendering is completely broken in my system. There are graphical glitches everywhere, pages display with missing text, on many pages the text either appears or disappears depending on the zoom level. In one word, the browser is completely unusable. Everything works normally when the #disable-directwrite flag is disabled.
Please check the following examples.

DirectWrite disabled (broken)

The OS is Windows 10 (1607 LTSB). I am unsure if the OS language settings make any difference here, but just in case, the display language is set to English (US) and the non-unicode language is set to Korean (Korea).
I am reverting to v3.1.5.52 for now. I would be very thankful if someone could confirm the issue (and possibly fix it).
