Disabling DirectWrite on Chrome messes things up, but I need to

Disabling DirectWrite on Chrome (through chrome://flags), makes a number of websites display incorrectly and some not at all. But in all cases that the page is transformed, the elevator becomes tiny, in other words the page comes extremely tall all of a sudden.

But I need to purposefully necessarily disable DirectWrite for personal purposes, I want it to allow me to smooth font with MacType font-smoothing software for Windows. Enabling it (DirectWrite), fixes everything, but it it does not allow for the fonts to be smoothed by the software I'm using.

So I need an intermediate solution, I want to disable DirectWrite, but I want websites to display correctly and smoothed by MacType. NOTE that this issue has started to happen since a week or so, it didn't exist before.

Chrome version is: 39.0.2171.95 (Official Build)
