I'm having difficulty getting headless Chrome to display non-Latin characters correctly, specifically Chinese characters.
I'm running Chrome 61.x in headless mode on Ubuntu 14.04. I have installed several fonts that should support Chinese characters, including GNU FreeFont and Google's Noto font. I have fontconfig installed and have tried rebuilding the cache after installing fonts (using both the sudo fc-cache -f -v and sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig commands) and restarting the google-chrome process to no avail. I also tried upgrading to the latest version of Chrome (65.x) but this did not resolve the issue either nor did disabling GPU acceleration in Chrome (GPU acceleration was tied to problems in earlier versions).
I've done a lot of searching on Google, have stopped finding new advice, and so wonder if there is anything else I can try that hasn't been suggested yet.
