Chromium renders text bad after reinstall

Reported by mrk...@gmail.com, Jul 13 2016 
Chrome Version       : 51.0.2704.79

OS Version: Lubuntu 16.04 x64

URLs (if applicable) : All websites, tested for facebook.com and self-developed webapp

Other browsers tested:
  Firefox 47.0: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open any website

What is the expected result?
Normal sized, smooth fonts (see attachment "issue_firefox.png" -> for example the "képviselőválasztás16 | belépés" text shouldn't overflow the line, tested by a few of my friends, and confirmed)

What happens instead of that?
Big, bad font size, and big gaps between the letters (see attachment "issue_chrome.png", form title overflows to the next line)



Please provide any additional information below: This issue came out after I've reinstalled my OS from i386 arch to amd64.
I used to work with Chromium yesterday (with i386 architecture yet), and everything was fine, the behaviour was the expected.

Unable to repro this issue on Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) for Google Chrome Stable Version - 51.0.2704.106 & Chromium Version - 51.0.2704.79

Screen-recording is attached.

@mrkflp: Could you please re-test the same on a clean profile [chrome://settings -> Add Person] and let us know your observations.

Thank you.

The issue is still there with a clean profile, and appears on the popular websites too (also in my webapp), like facebook.com, github.com.

I think this should be a font-misconfiguration or something like that. I'm trying to figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

It seems that this issue's affecting only Chromium. In Google Chrome everything is fine.

Where did you get Chromium from?

Comment 7 by mrk...@gmail.com, Jul 14 2016 

#6: I installed Chromium by apt (thus from ubuntu's default repository).

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Likely a problem with fontconfig or a lack of suitable default fonts. Given that Chrome works I'm marking this as WontFix. We do not provide support for third party distributions of Chromium.
