I hope we will figure out the reason for this snap behavior. Otherwise there are workarounds. Not pulling fonts-droid-fallback was mentioned above. Or this change would probably do it:
--- /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-fonts-noto-cjk.conf.orig +++ /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-fonts-noto-cjk.conf @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ <test name="family"> <string>sans-serif</string> </test> - <edit name="family" mode="prepend"> + <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong"> <string>Noto Sans CJK JP</string> </edit> </match> Or maybe do the equivalent in language-selector-common instead, to not add an Ubuntu delta to fonts-noto-cjk. But I don't know how to test these things for snaps (read-only). @Sebastien: Is there an easy way?
