Weird directories name when open vault from directory

[corvo]

Steps to reproduce

This bug can be reproduced in two ways:

• open a folder as vault
• create a vault and click on the change location button

Expected result

I should be able to read and understand the names of the open directory dialog window directories

Actual result

I see unreadable names for each directory I have in my file manager

Environment

• Operating system: Fedora 34 running KDE

• Obsidian version: 0.12.19 snap
• locale: en_gb

Additional information

This issue could be caused by KDE itself or maybe there is some sort of configuration to apply, it’s not like a big issue as I managed to create vaults and I don’t need to do it anymore but it’s annoying for sure.

this is a font issue on some some snap on some distro. Search the forum/internet for a solution

Dialog boxes are unreadable on Fedora 34

Thanks for the link. I fail to see what possible sort of search term I could have been expected to use to find that bug given that it’s a) a different version of Obsidian b) a different version of the OS and c) a year old. So, basically this program just doesn’t work on Linux at all, it’s had an outstanding showstopper bug for a year, and the bug has just been moved to the “graveyard”, essentially closed as WONTFIX? Is that a fair summary of the situation?

thanks for the additional information.
I tried following some of the solutions I found on internet but none fixed the snap font issue so I moved to the flatpak version with works flawlessly.
