Making Mac render like Windows #649

Does anyone know if there's a Chrome flag that can be set that will make Backstop images rendered on Mac look like Backstop images rendered on Windows? There's this flag (https://wiki.mikejung.biz/Chrome#Disabling_.2F_Enabling_Chrome.27s_LCD_Text_Antialiasing), but I haven't tested it. Cross-platform automated testing is a real issue as the visual regression tests always fail on Mac developer's machines since the reference images were generated on Windows. There's the suggestion to use a Docker Backstop image, but we really need to render like Windows (and Docker-wrapped Windows is less trivial), and typography is the main issue.
