Hello I am Magi, I am fairly new to the forums, but I been trying to switch browsers since I want something that is a bit more privacy focused since Firefox is switching up their game and with better resource management, I heard Vivaldi fits these requirements from a couple of friends, so I decided to go ahead and try it out, but when I installed it was missing text, I try to do some fixes nothing complicated (just uninstalling and installing again with no luck). So now I am coming here if someone can help me out figure out how to fix this, I apologize in advance for any trouble, I am like very new to linux so I don’t know commands to show info or what I should do base on my system, again very sorry, love and care ! - Mango
Hi @Mango_magi and welcome to the Manjaro Community! 
No trouble at all. A quick guide here:
Mini HowTo: Providing System Information (click to expand)
In a Terminal window (preferably maximized, or at least bigger than the usual default size, to help to avoid chopped lines), issue:
inxi -zv8
Select all the text, copy it and paste here.
Note: Please use the code formatting (the </> button at the top of the Reply window after highlighting the pasted Terminal output, or the three backticks ``` on lines above and below the pasted text).
Important point: This output is privacy-filtered using the above command.
Cheers! 
This might be a problem with your local config. One thing you can try is to create a new user and see if that user has the same problem - if it does not, then it’s your local config.
You could also try removing ~/.cache/vivaldi (when Vivaldi is not running). You might also try temporarilly renaming ~/.config/vivaldi to some temporary name to see of that makes a difference (I suggest renaming so that you can remove any newly created directory and rename the saved one to avoid losing settings you might want to keep).
Another possibility is a conflict with your Plasma theme, so you could try switching the theme to see if that makes a difference.
I am running Vivaldi and I don’t have your problem, so there is hope
I am guessing - looks like a font issue on your system - like if you have chosen a Vivaldi UI language for which you do not have the fonts available on your system.
But it is a guess… and the thought that it could be theme related is a valid thought too.
You can likely work around it by removing the folder ~/.config/vivaldi. Close Vivaldi before attempting to remove the folder.
The .config is a hidden folder in your user’s home, so it will normally not be visible in the file manager - you can change visibility using Ctrl+h key combination in Dolphin.

I don’t think it would be theme-related, because vivaldi is proprietary software and does not rely on the usual suspects, i.e.qt and gtk.
I am however wondering where the OP has installed vivaldi from. If it’s something installed from vivaldi’s website — as opposed to from the Manjaro repositories — then there may be a compatibility issue with the version of pango supplied by Manjaro.

That is a valid thought too.
Vivaldi is in Manjaro official repo - so I will assume that you used the package manager e.g.
sudo pacman -Syu vivaldi
If you used the package manager - then it should just work - just as it does for the thousands other Manjaro users - myself included.
