Process registered fonts

[tdolny]

After upgrading to CEF 3.2171.1979 from CEF3.1750.1738 I noticed the browser stopped using fonts registered with AddFontResourceEx Windows function by my root process in non private mode.
Is it an expected change in it's behaviour? Is it possible to make it use font registered that way again?

I'm using CEF 3.2171 and targeting Windows 8.
Chromium changed from ver. 33 to 39.

This has never been documented or intentionally supported behavior.

Chromium no longer uses GDI for font rendering which may be the cause of the behavior change. You should use web technologies like CSS font-face for loading custom fonts.

Thank you for your helpful response.
I've used disable-direct-write and disable-direct-write-for-ui switches to make it use GDI for fonts again which solved my problem for now and doesn't require modifying presented content.

Just be aware that GDI support will likely be removed from the source tree in upcoming versions and these flags will no longer work.
