Since Ubuntu 18.04 (maybe from 17.10, I can't remember), some languages' font hinting are lost in Chrome-like browsers (like Chromium, Bangla, ... ). Also, Chrome's UI font itself renders so bad that the use of Chromium on Ubuntu became impossible.
Interestingly, all Ubuntu derivatives inherited this bug but other distros like Manjaro don't show this behaviour.



Below is a screenshot demonstrating the problem: the text of "Autofill" and "Appearance" becomes fuzzy (Click on both of the images for a full-size image)



Hairy :-) fonts



Below a screenshot of the expected behaviour:



Sleek fonts



What's an easy fix to this issue?

          which seems to be wrong, since the family was already selected. It should be lang instead. Editing line 8 fixes all the annoyance.
