I managed to bisect that to installation of fonts-cantarell 0.303.1-4 from
unstable. I suspect that the font stack bundled in the „walc” snap, which is
using core18 as the base, is unable to handle that font properly. The -4
version has one variable font, while the -1 version has five distinct fonts for
bold, extra bold, light, regular and thin variants.
Since you have filed a bug both here and on launchpad, at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/2105766, I have sent some more updates
there.
This case needs more analysis at a level that exceeds my desktop skills. At
present I have no idea what to do. Perhaps snapd could generate some
configuration file for core18-based snaps, to exclude the fonts it cannot
understand, but this is conjecture at this point.
