Hi,

My version info from snap list

chromium 84.0.4147.105 1260 latest/stable canonical

Tripped over this issue today as I needed to install windows fonts on a user PC (they get documents with windows ttf fonts) - did so in /usr/share/fonts/win so fonts would be available to others and then chromium failed to load. This answer solved it

https://askubuntu.com/a/1259802

# first close all instances of chromium
sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*
sudo fc-cache -r -v
rm -rf ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/fontconfig/

Bit of a bummer as there are quite a few other machines that need windows fonts and Chromium.
