As the title says.
Recently I switched from Neon to Tuxedo and noticed that flatpaks can understans japanese characters and this is something I need them to be able to do. On Neon it worked and I think I did anything to make it work so I don’t understand why isn’t working on Tuxedo.
In addition, if possible, on Neon Okular was able to read and show both standalone avif images as avif images inside compacted files. Now o Tuxedo it can only handle the standalone images, but not when it’s inside compacted files.
I also don’t understand why.
Already asked around about the two issues and tried a few things, didn’t worked.
Hi - which Flatpak applications are you using? Are you seeing that the distribution-packaged version can render those characters OK, but the Flatpak can’t?
Can you describe the things you mentioned that you’ve tried so far? Also, have you changed any font settings from the system defaults after installing?
It looks like others have experienced at least something related to this issue across a few different applications:
In general, the fact that it worked in Neon and isn’t working in Tuxedo OS would lead me to assume that it has something to do with how Tuxedo packages or configures its distribution - unfortunately I don’t see much in the way of general user forums for Tuxedo OS, presumably because the OS is almost exclusively targeted toward its own hardware customers.
People recommended me to copy CJK fonts to the Flatpak folder, ~/.local/share/fonts/. I did, or at least I think I did, I may have copied to the wrong folder.
I was wondering if I could solve this using the Application Permission settings. Added /usr/share/fonts/ to “Filesystem Access” but also didn’t worked, I got out of ideas.
If your distribution-packaged applications don’t have the same issue, and if the issue did not occur in Neon, then I would guess these issues lie somewhere between the packaging of those Flatpak applications and the way in which Tuxedo has installed or configured flatpak and the xdg-desktop-portal. Are your CJK fonts visible and rendering OK in the System Settings > Font Management window?
