Thanks for the report Christian. I'm running 19.10 with the chromium snap. I opened the test page, and all chinese characters appear to be rendered correctly. Same in a fully up-to-date clean 19.10 VM. If I remove fonts-noto-cjk however, the characters are not rendered correctly any longer.
Can you check whether fonts-noto-cjk is installed on your system? ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849228 Title: [snap] Chinese Supplementary Unicode characters not rendered at all (but working in .deb-Google Chrome) Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi! This is my first bug report in a very very long time, so please bear with me, if the report is not that professional. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 just now and I installed (nearly) every single fonts-* package and chromium-browser snap. And firefox (deb), falkon (deb) and Google Chrome (deb) Firefox and Falkon and Google Chrome do render all Chinese characters correctly and instantly: http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/supplementary-test.html Works fine with: Firefox Falkon Google Chrome Midori Arora Browser (package: arora, pretty broken but it works on the test page) surf (package: surf, suckless browser) netsurf-gtk (all tested just now on 19.10 eoan!) Chromium Browser via snap does *NOT* display the characters at all: http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/supplementary-test.html I went back to my install of Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with the chromium-browser via apt as a usual .DEB package. The test page on Ubuntu bionic does work absolutely fine and 100% correct. Not even much fonts installed. So I'm 100% sure this is snap related for Ubuntu 19.10. Expected: Chromium Browser (snap) should display the characters on http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/supplementary-test.html What happens: You can't get Chromium browser (snap) in 19.10 to display the characters, no matter what.
