Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Installing some snaps like codium are having font issues in dialog windows.
This has been widely discussed upstream [1]
Tried multiple workarounds and none of them are working:
~~~
sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*
rm -f ~/snap/codium/current/.cache/
fc-cache -r -v
snap run --shell codium
fc-cache -r -v
exit
~~~
I also tried this with VScodium running
Arch wiki [a] suspects it's an issue caused by fontconfig>=2.13.91
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontconfig-2.13.93-6.fc34.x86_64
snapd-selinux-2.51-1.fc34.noarch
snap-confine-2.51-1.fc34.x86_64
snapd-2.51-1.fc34.x86_64
How reproducible:
All the time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. snap install codium
2. Open Folder dialog or any kind of dialog
Actual results:
All the text is square instead of readable characters
Expected results:
We should be able to read the text.
