This seems to be a bug in Chromium with the Helvetica font. It is discussed here:

https://forums-web1.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-984870.html?sid=d8fa5b8fc9ae0c83520d1769dc366d58

    make the following files in some empty directory
    go to chrome://extensions
    check the developer mode box
    Load unpacked extension
    point to the new directory

manifest.json

{ 
  "name": "Fix Helvetica", 
  "description": "Fix Helvetica", 
  "version": "0.1", 

  "content_scripts": [ { 
  "css": [ "Custom.css" ], 
  "matches": [ "http://*/*", "https://*/*" ] 
  } ], 

  "manifest_version": 2 
} 

Custom.css

@font-face { font-family: 'Helvetica'; src: local('Arial')}
