What's missing from qutebrowser for text rendering?

has anyone else run into this issue?

I'm on guix system and I installed qutebrowser via my guix home profile

Does qutebrowser on guix system require me to explicitly install fonts for it?

Thanks.  Could you try adding a few mainstays, such as Bitstream Vera & DejaVu, and make sure that fc-cache -rv returns no errors?  (Some being ENOENT is fine).

That usually placates IceCat, at least.

unwox,

Hi, Do you use qutebrowser on Guix system?

Do you know if you had to do anything extra or special to get text font rendering to work on sites like wikipedia?

This is a known bug of qtwebengine, it's not related to your font
settings. It's about glibc and the sandbox of qtwebengine.

See here for more detail:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1164975

It's not fixed because the open source support of Qt 5 series is end. Only
commercial support can get the patch(Qt 5.15.8).

If we want to fix this, we may give the KDE's Qt branch a look. AFAIK,
Archlinux use it.

A simple workaround for your problem is: Disable the sandbox.
