Excellent post! Very informative.

We still haven’t been able to reproduce this or find a fix that applies to everyone. Cross linking the reported issue:

OK we’re going to try to clear the cache in the next set of builds, which are happening now, I’m just going to cut a rollup release.

If you have a machine and HAVEN’T applied a fix then it’d be useful to get some testing on this. I’ll update this thread when it’s available.

Ok if you’re on a bluefin:gts image you should have a new build that basically runs that fc-cache command, run a ujust update or click on the system update icon in your menu.

Unfortunately bluefin-dx is dealing with some package skew in Fedora, so I’ll try to get those green tomorrow.

I’ve been having this trouble for a few weeks, and this has fixed it each time:

flatpak list --columns=application | xargs -I %s -- flatpak run --command=fc-cache %s -f -v

I still have problems with the font rendering of newly installed applications. (Flatpak)
Does anyone else still know this? Any ideas?
-btw: flatpak list --columns=application | xargs -I %s -- flatpak run --command=fc-cache %s -f -v
-This command fixes the problem temporarily after a reboot. All new apps show the same behavior

Still haven’t found a way to reliably fix this, however since this only appears on F39 we know that moving to F40 solves the issue. You can do this by moving to the bluefin:stable branch. Here’s the instructions:

oh, I didn’t see your answer. Thank you for the clarification! And thanks for the great project, btw :slight_smile:
