Hello

Previously I had WPS-Office 2019 installed to my Deepin 15.11 and was working fine. However, yesterday I uninstalled it and tried out LibreOffice instead. But I did not like it so I removed it and ran the following code:

- sudo apt remove --purge libre-office*

And thereafter I installed WPS Office 2019 again. However, ever since I did that, it now seems on ALL browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Opera) that my font is broken in certain text areas, here is a screenshot.

I have already tried making changes within the browser font settings and that does not work at all. I also played around on the Deepin font size settings too, and that did not help either. I believe during the uninstall of Libre Office I may have uninstalled system fonts needed. Because this makes no sense to why it is affecting ALL my browsers.

I really hope someone can assist me here, please?

I have uploaded my font files in /usr/share/fonts. Although I am using the deepin Chinese version, it also contains some necessary English fonts for system and apps. You can backup your font floder and copy these files to /usr/share/fonts. Then you can type " fc-cache -fv" in your terminal and try to fix it. If it doesn't help, you can recover the fonts floder.

Thank you, I am testing this. If this does not work, how would I restore the font folder? From a live running version?

What do I do now? So far I can only notice the broken fonts in my browser applications.

Unfortunately, this did not work, see what I did:

It seems that your font files are complete. Only the browsers have the problem.And yes to your question, you can recover font files from live system or just unpack the install file xxx.iso.
Have you ever change the font type instead of the font size? I just can't believe none can be available...If you have tried this, ps ignore.

From your description, I think you can try reinstalling Libreoffice and see if your browser is normal or not. Then we can inspect whether the font files or the font config (~/.config/fontconfig) changed. I agree the reason can be located in the install/uninstall of LibreOffice. And maybe in WPS.

Hello

I have re-installed LibreOffice again, rebooted and still no luck, my fonts remain broken in all browsers. I went back to uninstalling LibreOffice again. I also uninstalled WPS, then proceeded to install WPS from the distro, and then downloaded the new 2019 versions and used dpkg -i to install the newer one over the old on of WPS.

Unfortunately, this too has not worked. Can you tell me how I can unpack from an ISO file without doing a live running image of deepin?

What other suggestions do you have for me?

Frankly speaking, I have no idea now. The system files can be extracted from an ISO file. Open the ISO file and unpack /live/filesystem.squashfs.Then rename its extension e.g. filesystem.zip so that it can be unpacked too.Then the system files can be obtained.

I cannot extract from the ISO:

granwile@granwille:~/Documents/ISO$ mv filesystem.squashfs filesystem.zip
granwile@granwille:~/Documents/ISO$ mkdir filesystem

granwile@granwille:~/Documents/ISO/filesystem$ unzip filesystem.zip
Archive: filesystem.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of filesystem.zip or
filesystem.zip.zip, and cannot find filesystem.zip.ZIP, period.

So this does not work either - sigghhh I am also starting to notice the broken fonts in other applications, and not just my browser anymore.

I cannot extract from the ISO:

I used the 360zip to unpack, maybe it is not a zip file but it can be unpacked. I tried to install and uninstall libreoffice and wps with an English version deepin live system based on v15.11, but the English fonts in the broswer seem to be normal. So I can't think of any way out.

I managed to use 360zip now to grab the fonts from the ISO file and ran rsync -a again and also flushed the cache as you instructed, sadly, it helped zero.

Hello again,

I managed to fix my system fonts, it seems I broke the permissions in /usr/share/fonts/ which is why it broke for my whole system. Anyway, I am back to my main problem where fonts are broken for ALL my applications. And I really hope someone can help me.

Look how broken my fonts are in the browser:

And this is from a newsletter in my email client application in thunderbird.

Hey guy,
you can have a try to go to the Control Center-Personalization-Font-Standard Font,
and check if your standard font is correct.

Look at here.
