That’s strange and looks hard to investigate in my environment.
Do other Electron-based snap apps work correctly, like GitKraken?
I found a thread related to this issue:
In this thread sadly they point to the user that they delete their font caches. Sadly this doesn’t work.
I also tried to delete the caches in ~/snap/inkdrop/common/.cache/fontconfig/
Also I tried to remove the configs from ~/snap/inkdrop/common/.config/fontconfig/ without success
For Chromium at least that I have installed as a snap the dialog boxes look okay there.
But oh I see you also have an .rpm to download. Then I will propably use this one.
Looks like so.
Electron had the same issue but it’s been solved 3 years ago:
There might be a regression in the recent version but I couldn’t find that.
I suspect that it has something to do with your locale? Try changing the system language to en_US or something.
$ rm -f ./snap/inkdrop/common/.cache/fontconfig/*
$ rm -f ./snap/inkdrop/current/.cache/fontconfig/*
# this appears to be the key
$ snap run --shell inkdrop
$ fc-cache -r
$ exit
Thanks, @John_Kelley. I’ll give that a try in the morning. I had deleted and reinstalled fontconfig, but system wide, not within snap. This is a much more complete solution. I’ll report on my progress tomorrow.
