--- Comment #9 from Myles C. Maxfield <mmaxfield at apple.com> ---
The default is FontRenderingMode::Normal, but it looks like users can override that by setting a preference. It looks like that preference is set by placing a .plist in a specific place (as Fujii found in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206273#c4). I think this is a tradeoff between the pros of eliminating maintenance burden against the cons of making some (specific) Windows users' text look different.

In this case, because the change is somewhat subtle, and because it's difficult to imagine someone going through the trouble of putting a plist in a specific place on the filesystem on Windows just to get their iTunes text to look slightly different, I think maintenance burden wins, and we can just delete this.
