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
# 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.
