Please, don't ask for add lsb-release as dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.

And before asking for any other dependency as make or patch or whatever, please read the wiki.

So, just as a last follow up - I had a bunch of 'junk' in my /etc/fonts/local.conf config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match> <edit mode="prepend" name="family"><string>Noto Sans</string></edit> </match> <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"><string>serif</string></test> <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same"><string>Noto Serif</string></edit> </match> <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"><string>sans-serif</string></test> <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same"><string>Noto Sans</string></edit> </match> <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"><string>monospace</string></test> <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same"><string>Noto Mono</string></edit> </match> </fontconfig>

Moving this file (mv /etc/fonts/local.conf /etc/fonts/local.conf.bak) solved all of my font issues, including the latest version of Slack. Clean install, don't really remember touching it, but it definitely was forcing everything into the Noto world.

I was able to "fix" the font issue by downgrading to 3.4.2-1 (no ttf-loto installed or anything else, noto-fonts still installed), if that helps anyone else.

@pauliokas Where did you end up putting that? Can't get it to work under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ or ~/.config/fonconfig/fonts.conf

My fc-match Slack-Lato stays as:

NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"

even with an fc-cache -f

@klusark is true, removed gconf dependency

@ogarcia gconf is not needed as a dependency

Hi,

anyone also having problems with slack starting today? The moment I start it it just freezes my desktop so you cannot even move the cursor anymore. Have to switch to another tty and kill the process. No clue why.

So I fixed the bold fonts by installing ttf-lato and adding the following to my fontconfig:

<alias>
  <family>Slack Lato</family>
  <prefer><family>Lato</family></prefer>
</alias>

This is not a proper fix, though -- it just makes Slack usable. The problem is that Slack doesn't use the fonts that are packaged with it. Does anyone know why?

I get the following output:

x1carbon6 :: ~ » fc-match Slack-Lato

Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"

@lordchaos If you do:

fc-match Slack-Lato

do you see any bold fonts?

I only get:

NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"
