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 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"

I have the following packages installed, but the 'bold font' issue doesn't seem to affect me. I can see bold typefaces fine in Slack.

slack-desktop 4.0.1-1

noto-fonts 20190111-2

ttf-lato 2.015-3

Same issue with the fonts here, but removing noto-fonts is not really a viable solution. Anyone got any other suggestions?

invidian commented on 2019-07-30 14:28 (UTC)

It seems that removing "noto-fonts" package fixed the bold issue for me.

pbnsilva commented on 2019-07-30 09:51 (UTC)

The bold issue is due to conflicting fonts. In my case the set of Noto fonts I'm using (required by Brave) are interfering with Slack Lato fonts.

lgrn commented on 2019-07-30 08:38 (UTC)

Bold fonts work fine for me with package 4.0.0-1, as well as in Slack's web app using google-chrome-beta 71.0.3578.30. I'm on Manjaro 18.0.4 with i3.

pbnsilva commented on 2019-07-29 10:07 (UTC)

No bold fonts here either. Same if I use slack on a Chromium-based browser. On Firefox the bold fonts are there.
