Chrome Issues - Language? Weird Characters in Preferences and Sites

I'm using a Macbook with Chrome, when I go into the settings it appears as below:

I've tried:

  • Running Malware Bytes
  • Running Avast Security
  • Deleting Chrome and Reinstalling

Has anybody come across this?

Other browsers seem fine, it's just Chrome.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried changing the default fonts in Chrome's settings? If you right-click the garbled text (or Mac equivalent?) and "Inspect" does it name the font?

Had same issue and after I delete all Roboto fonts from Font Book app everything came to normal in Chrome!
