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">

</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?
(It was much better when the snaps honored the system's
/etc/fonts/conf.d .)
