Chrome doesn't show CJK fonts, while other browsers (Firefox, Librewolf, Chromium) show them perfectly fine.

Fedora Linux 37.20230416.0 (Silverblue)
Flatpak 1.14.4
GNOME 43.4

Same issue here, also on Silverblue (38). Screenshot taken from YouTube, where I'm trying to search using Chinese characters.

FWIW I notice Steam Flatpak is also having this issue.

Chinese characters appear fine in other apps, such as Text Editor:

Hi, I also have the same problem (Fedora).
This is my temporary solution, revert back to the previous version.

Google Chrome
flatpak update --commit=1b2cabc20c6454312cb17d9c55940759ff25bbc63f7e9b2392adc1fd9136b5fe com.google.Chrome

Microsoft Edge
flatpak update --commit=204c1ec88ff6f562077e95a772b6b6980dd937d849c3cac69a76df3f00bb0a5f com.microsoft.Edge

But my Steam app can show foreign languages properly.

Still no upstream fix for this?

Fixed, need to refresh font cache
flatpak run --command=fc-cache com.google.Chrome -f -v

I tried that command and it didn't fix the CJK fonts. Restarted Chrome. Still getting "tofu".

Several other flatpaks, namely Steam in my case, are still having this issue, too. I hope those can get fixed eventually too, as this is really a showstopper for several members of my family.

Edit: Turns out you need to do one more step for this to work: flathub/org.chromium.Chromium#280 (comment)
