[HowTo] Fix SNAP corrupted fonts (tofu, blocks, rectangles)

If you see something similar to this: [image] This is a common problem with SNAPs. To fix it we need to clear the font cache. Easy and automated: fc-cache -r and/or manually delete fontconfig cache directory in home: rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/* And possibly the system cache too: sudo rm -f /var/cache/fontconfig/*

Same problem here. I tried everything in the ArchWiki page, but nothing changes. I always get squares instead of regular fonts. Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same issue, but with a wrinkle. The fonts work in XFCE but not in Xmonad. Same system.

Snap store’s Slack app. I have tried both fc-cache -r and sudo rm -f /var/cache/fontconfig/*.
