Thanks for your input Gunnar, that might be really playing a role in the
problem.
After all, it turns out the error Andreas reported is also present when
the behavior is correct, i.e. with ubuntu-fonts-classic I get
--->
Failed to get origin+type directory: { uri:
filesystem:https://docs.google.com/persistent/docs/fonts/4iCs6KVjbNBYlgo6fQ.woff2,
storage key: { origin: https://docs.google.com, top-level site:
https://google.com, nonce: <null>, ancestor chain bit: Same-Site } } error:-4

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.
