Do you have freetype-freeworld package installed on your system? if yes, will removing it fix the reported issue here?
Thanks, dnf erase freetype-freeworld solved this problem. (In reply to Parag Nemade from comment #1) > Do you have freetype-freeworld package installed on your system? if yes, > will removing it fix the reported issue here?
Thanks for confirming. This is then not a problem with any of Fedora repository packages. You may want to report this to rpmfusion bugzilla against freetype-freeworld package. I am closing this as a NOTABUG now.
