“Impact” font not working on mobile Chrome

I've been struggling with the Impact font for about a year now.
It's supposed to be a web safe font, but it isn't.
When I use the standard "Impact" it will not work on mobile platforms. If I use a specific font @font-face, it's impossible to get same rendering on PC and Mac (I've tried about 20 different versions and spent about $200 on useless fonts).
I'm happy with the standard Impact as it works fine (with a few hacks). But it doesn't load on mobile phones (Chrome), and it's driving me crazy and makes me want to jump out the window. Seriously, I've had enough...

Please don't defenestrate yourself, it's not worth it over a font!
