2023-05-12 11:27:41 Nathan Teodosio 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. 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.
