I researched here in the forum, but I did not find a related topic.

Thanks in advance for the help!

It looks like your system is missing a font. What localization are you using? Is it English, or something else?

#3

my system is configured to pt-BR

#4

It “sounds like” you are missing the language pack for that local. I am not familiar with Manjaro, so I am not entirely sure how to fix that specific issue. For example, there was an article for adding support to Ubuntu.

What I would do is check in with the Manjaro forums and see how to add pt-BR support. My gut feeling is that this is not a snap specific issue.

#5

I looked up the subject you suggested and found a page with information on how to properly set the display language.

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Locale

But that still was not enough to solve the problem.
I’ll continue to use snap through the command line …

Anyway, thank you for all your help @bashfulrobot !!

Is this the snap-store snap?

#7

Yes. I have installed It by command

$ sudo snap install snap-store

#8

Tagging @kenvandine and @robert.ancell so they are aware of this issue.

Sorry I was not more help! I see a few additional responses here; so you are likely in good hands! :+1:

@wrcall I asked @popey to try the snap-store on Manjaro and he said it looked fine for him. Can you please try some other snaps to see if you see something similar? Perhaps try the gnome-calculator snap and report if you see a similar issue.

#11

Hi @wrcall, have you solved this problem then? I have the same problem on arch linux.

#12

I think the problem is related to apparmor… @mborzecki , any idea?
The snaps I install with --classic can access fonts…

#13

I posted some information I collected while debugging this problem in this topic:

The conclusions were that not all snaps are affected, but those that used gnome runtime content snap appeared to be.

#14

Thank you @mborzecki …will follow the topic. Hope it get solved soon.

The issue was solved in Manjaro forum:

It seems like the issue is related to fontconfig update.
