after restarting, does the problem still occur?

[ikirudennis]

Unfortunately, yes it persists across restarts. I also tested it with and without the /snap symlink, but it doesn't work either way. Some other items to note: On starting, the systray icon is blank, but when I start playing something it then shows up. Also, it frequently crashes on exit. I'm not sure if any of that is helpful information.

It seems like it might be this problem: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapped-app-not-loading-fonts-on-fedora-and-arch/12484 Unfortunately, I haven't had luck with any of the suggestions therein.

I agree; having the same issue on Arch. Appears from the linked post that this issue affects Fedora and Arch.

It has been a while on this, but wanted to report having this issue. Just confirming the issue still exists, no change. Fedora 36.
