Observe the notification (see attachment) OBSERVED RESULT The notification has unreadable text EXPECTED RESULT I expected to see "Hello World" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.1.7-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: plasmashell 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I updated my system (pacman -Syu) I couple days ago and since then every KDE notification that I get (telegram, firefox, etc) is unreadable.
Pleas reboot and see if the problem persists
(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > Pleas reboot and see if the problem persists Rebooting fixed the issue. Could I know why you thought this would fix it?
The update updated some kind of package that is relevant for font rendering (could be either of freetype, fontconfig, harfbuzz; not sure) which is known to cause problems for running applications. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465216
