3 years ago Which fonts does it needs?
Maybe try starting the app via console like snap run electron-mail so some info gets printed to the output (like missed fonts warnings).

3 years ago I have run this command in Gnome-Terminal. However, it does not print out any error message.
I found a similar bug and deleted the font cache too, unfortunately that doesn't help either: like here

3 years ago What I've noticed is that gnome-platform and data-dir folders of the app package are empty which I guess according to https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/66f01bba33523544813418332a5643f8b09f5421/packages/app-builder-lib/templates/snap/snapcraft.yaml should not be empty. Just a guess though that it's a matter of Snap package misconfiguration.

3 years ago I tested Mate-Terminal with following output:
snap run electron-mail (node:5708) DeprecationWarning: file property is deprecated and will be removed in v5. (Useelectron-mail --trace-deprecation ...to show where the warning was created) Gtk-Message: 21:59:15.313: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module" Gtk-Message: 22:01:24.015: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.

3 years ago Can you also run ls /snap/electron-mail/current/data-dir/themes/ ? Just curious. In my case it's empty but my understanding is that themes should be linked from gtk-common-themes defined as provider.

3 years ago Install the noto-fonts doesn't help. The error only occurs in the almost the same dialog window, when you insert following command in the console: zenity --file-selection
And yes the themes folder is empty.

If I run snap run --shell electron-mail and then ls $SNAP/data-dir/themes, it prints the theme names. So gtk-common-themes seems to be well connected.

3 years ago I had the same issue & I can confirm its resolved when I installed the AUR binary package instead of snap. Thanks @vladimiry for your efforts.

Hello,
I have a font problem with the snap package of electron-mail under Manjaro Linux. The file open dialog, that I want to use, when I want to import a ics calendar (ProtonCalendar); (or when I want to add an attachment to an email), the dialog shows only Rectangles [] instead of a font. Which fonts does it needs?
System info:
Kind regards traplens
