Thank you for reporting this problem and proposing a patch.
I’d prefer not to propagate any fonts. Do you happen to know what the
mechanism underlying the fix is? Why does this fix the problem? Why
does it crash in the first place?
Is this at all related to a stale font cache, perhaps?

So i got a chance to dig into this a bit. chromium needs a ttf font and
there are no fonts installed yet, so defaintly not a stale cache issue.
Chrome is crashing here
Its using fontconfig i think. I have no idea how to get chromium to read
fonts from a custom path.

Can we arrange for a default font to be returned by fontconfig? Perhaps
the fix is not needed in Chromium but in fontconfig or our profile hooks?
