Hi…

This is a common problem with Snaps. To fix it you need to clear the font cache.

Either easy and automated:

fc-cache -r

And/or manually delete the fontconfig cache directory in your home folder:

rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*

And possibly the system cache too:

sudo rm -f /var/cache/fontconfig/*

Hope that helps!
