Ahh. Yes, that will happen because chromium based browsers use an internal (and older) fontconfig. A shame really. The other alternative is to replace the files:
30-metric-aliases.conf 45-latin.conf 60-latin.conf
in /etc/fonts/conf.avail with copies from fontconfig's git repo trunk. I'm attaching them here too.
I tried with the attached files but it did not resolve the issue. After that I tried those files with previous 3 methods but no luck. Anyway thank you for your help On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 8:28 AM, "P. A. López-Valencia" <vorbote@outlook.com

First I'm extremely sorry for taking long time to reply. I've tried all three methods but no success. After I install fontconfig-git all the fonts on chromium browsers tabs and address bar changes to some kind of dots.
