Details

Arch's freetype2 has FT_CONFIG_OPTION_MAC_FONTS enabled, but the bundled Chromium freetype2 does not. This results in weird things happening when the text is about to be rendered using a Mac font file, see <https://crbug.com/766154>. If possible please enable this option.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  As per my original comments, I will not be changing the configuration of bundled libraries.

It's up to upstream to adjust the configuration of bundled libraries. Assuming Chrome behaves the same way, I don't consider this something that needs to be fixed downstream in Arch.

It sounds like the issue is that the configuration of the bundled library is somehow disagreeing with the system copy of freetype2, so how *should* Chromium adjust the configuration?

Chromium is using its bundled copy of freetype which is configured by upstream. The system freetype isn't used at all so its configuration is irrelevant.
