@joellidin did you edit the font config in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf ?
I'm on the new version of Discord today as and it works for me with the font config file thats provided above.
The file is not created by default so you might need to make it. Otherwise, do you have noto-sans-emoji installed?
Yeah, this is really embarrassing, but I noticed I accidentally had used font.conf instead of fonts.conf...
Thanks!
This should be default for all discord installs honestly, sooo much better.
Thanks for your work, spread the word around to fellow linux users!
I just reinstalled Void Linux on my rig here and I was having the stupid boxy issue in Discord channel names. Installing a crapton of unicode emoji fonts as well as placing this fonts.conf file into ~/.config/fontsconfig/ fixed the issue for me! Thanks for posting it!
missing <alias> between line 7 and 8
there's a <alias> beacon missing between line 7 & 8 in the current revision.
Thanks a lot for the snippet. I've been using for quite a while :)
Unfortunately, this does not work for me. Previously it worked when I used Snap and changed the font config in a ~/snap/discord folder. But as of today, because I needed to update discord, I had to install Discord with the deb file. Now when adding this to the default font config, it won't work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
