Hey everyone, I have a problem with my fresh Arch installation with hyprland, when there is Japanese text on screen, instead of the text, I get black boxes, which I think are broken unicode characters? How could I fix this problem, and also change my system font to something that supports unicode better, like the CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font?

those boxes are generally called "tofu"

You need, no-tofu

#

aka noto

#

noto-fonts-cjk is a fine choice

Just install it

Fonts fall back. If your current system font doesn't support a thing, it'll try and find something that does

I'll restart my pc and tell you if it works

it works, thanks, but there are still some boxes present on my screen. for example, the icon that is next to the support category in discord is just a box
