-webkit-font-smoothing property has no effect in Chrome

Question

I'm trying to control Google Chrome's (horrible) font anti-aliasing using the -webkit-font-smoothing CSS property, but it's having absolutely no effect on the text.

<div style="font-size: 42px">
  <p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased">This is a font test.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased">This is a font test.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: none">This is a font test.</p>
</div>

I've compared the pixels in Photoshop and all three are exactly the same. Is Chrome not supporting this property anymore?

-webkit-font-smoothing no longer works. Google Chrome team intentionally changed this behavior. Seems font-smoothing wasn't applied "properly" on OSX in previous versions.
