The solution is to copy the <code>fontconfig</code> directory to <code>.var/app/&lt;APP_ID&gt;/config/</code>, where <code>&lt;APP_ID&gt;</code> is the Flatpak application ID.</p> <p>For example:</p> <details class="code-fold" open> <summary> <div class="code-summary-wrapper"> <span class="code-summary">Show/Hide the code</span> </div> </summary> <div class="highlight"><div class="chroma"> <table class="lntable"><tr><td class="lntd"> <pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code><span class="lnt">1 </span></code></pre></td> <td class="lntd"> <pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span class="line"><span class="cl">cp -r ~/.config/fontconfig ~/.var/app/com.example.App/config/</span></span></code></pre></td></tr></table> </div> </div> </details>
