I doubt this is relevant — it was long ago and before any snap was used by default — but I recall that when we started to use Noto fonts for CJK languages in Xenial, there was initially an issue in Chrome/Chromium where it used the wrong weight if the font file included multiple weights (bug #1575555). The Debian/Ubuntu resolution to that issue was to switch to another font packaging model, where one font file per weight was used.
We also reported it as a font issue, but that didn't lead to anything: https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk/issues/65 This Ubuntu font issue is also about Chromium and font files with multiple weights... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-ubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019045 Title: [snap] New Ubuntu font with normal weight displayed as bold in Google Docs in Chromium after upgrading to Lunar Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am experiencing a rendering regression after upgrading from Kinetic to Lunar. Google Docs using the Ubuntu font family are displayed incorrectly in Chromium: the normal weight font is rendered identically to the bold weight one, instead of being thicker than light and thinner than medium. Printing is also affected, unless I use Google Docs' download to PDF function, although that probably triggers a server-side rendering. This issue does not occur in Firefox or Google Chrome. One thing that may be relevant: if I force-refresh my test Google Doc I see all four Ubuntu font lines initially being rendered as bold. The light and medium lines are then re-rendered with the correct weight. It's as if bold was the default weight and the normal variant disappeared. As far as I can tell I was already running Chromium 112.0.5615.49 in Kinetic, and with Chromium being a snap I don't quite understand why the Ubuntu series would matter. I have also tried version 114.0.5735.16 (in latest/beta at the moment); the symptoms are identical. The attachments show the rendering error.
