How to force Chrome to ignore locally installed Google fonts?

In development, I want to test whether a Google font is loading correctly on a page. However, the Google font always loads for me because I have it installed locally on my development machine.

Is there a way to tell the browser to ignore a locally installed font, specifically, within Google Chrome?

Either delete local fonts either rename them to something different.

I think there is no other solution because Google adds local('font name') to src in @font-ace:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 300;
  src: local('Open Sans Light'), local('OpenSans-Light'), url(...) format('woff2');
  unicode-range: U+0460-052F, U+20B4, U+2DE0-2DFF, U+A640-A69F;
}

I discovered that on a Mac (OS X), I can disable any font in the "Font Book" app that comes standard on the Mac. See screenshot
