Vivaldi not loading Japanese and Chinese written websites properly

Maschinami

Hi!

I've been using Vivaldi for quite a while now but recently I found out that it is not loading the Chinese characters nor Japanese characters properly. Initially, I thought it was something related to those fonts not being installed on my OS but when I opened the Vivaldi's Japanese Wikipedia article on Firefox I found out that the fonts are showing nicely there but not on Vivaldi. I already updated Vivaldi to the latest version.

Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks.

@Maschinami Defined fonts on page are: 'Linux Libertine',Georgia, Times.
My Debian 12 selects 'Noto Sans CJK' as font on the page.
No display problems.

I do not know about your Linux and am not able to tell which font packages you need for Japanese and Chinese.

Yes. You need a CJK font package.

I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed but I already managed to fix it.
Just had to install the package google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts and restart Vivaldi.

Thanks.
