Public bug reported:
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.
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.
