[Solved] Missing vaporwave characters (Chinese, Japanese & Korean)

Hi.

This is some kind of funky problem, might make you laugh.

All the vaporwave pages with random characters are blank. (see this for example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTfa-9aCTYg)

Which package should i install to see the missing characters? Is there a simple integral pack i could get for every chars at once?

And is there a way to figure out which package to install when i encounter missing characters like this?


Pretty tricky isn't it? smile

Thanks.

Hi,

These characters are usually in chinese/japanese/korean fonts, so I would suggest you to install one of these (the package adobe-source-han-sans-jp-fonts for example).

Yes.  But only because you haven't described the problem at all.  You say fonts are missing from some pages, but you give a link to a video.  If you want us to help with your problem, be more explicit about where the problem is appearing: describe the desired result and describe how the result you are getting deviates from that.

DejaVu Sans and friends from the package ttf-dejavu seem to support everything imaginable.

Hi.

Sorry for being vague. I managed to fix this installing these packages :

noto-fonts
noto-fonts-cjk
noto-fonts-emoji

Enjoy!
