what exactly is in these folders ? looks like it is not actual font files that fontconfig could handle …

i don’t really know what is this folder, but it contains a lot of Perl files (.pl) and .mf files and python files… i tried searching dpkg for this folder but failed to find any related package (using dpkg -S {FOLDER})

after removing and attempting to reinstall snap-store… it worked.
