firefox on alpine linux does not display characters **tl;dr** firefox on alpine does not display any characters, only missing character code glyphs I installed firefox `apk add firefox`. Running firefox (over remote X tunnelled via ssh) no characters are rendered. There are only missing character code value glyphs ![firefox on alpine missing character glpyhs]( I suspect another package of character images needs to be installed. alpine linux version `3.12.1`. Package `firefox` is version `firefox-84.0.2-r0`.

You are missing font packages.

You can add a couple of fonts like dejavu and liberation with: `apk add ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation`
