I didn't even notice "JP" first. This made me fear that
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/64-language-selector-prefer.conf has something to do with it. But the issue with too thin characters in Chrome/Chromium is there also with a TC locale:

$ locale | grep LC_CTYPE
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8
$ fc-match
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Regular"
$

So it's probably unrelated to that.

Isn't this issue really weird? Shouldn't Google make sure that their own web browser handles their own fonts properly?
