VSCode Flatpak lost access to fonts

[tsilvs]

Happened after an update yesterday. The font was installed only in the system, not in user ~/.fonts. It has ligatures, and it is enabled in settings.json.

Before an update, system fonts were working in a Flatpak. With ligatures and everything.

Now even when I try adding an override for filesystem to /usr/share/fonts:ro or /run/host/fonts:ro, the app refuses to open because it freezes on startup.

Do you know why that could've happened?

Sounds like corrupt font files. Could you regenerate the font cache? I believe it is something like fcache -v.

[tsilvs]

Could be, but fc-cache --verbose and relaunching VSCode didn't help.

Maybe it requires restarting the whole DE session?

@tsilvs You are sure permissions are correctly set? You could try checking the journal.

[tsilvs]

@francoism90 which journal do you mean?

[francoism90]

journalctl

You could check with something like: journalctl -xfe.
