When I try to add a file to a Skype message I get a screen similar to one I've attached. Thank you

check you have microsoft fonts installed (ttf-mscorefonts-installer) – guiverc May 06 '21 at 02:13
Hello, I added the recommended font, verified in the Fonts but no changes in the Add File window – ubontik May 07 '21 at 02:56
Did you re-build the font-cache? (fc-cache) though your GUI may require a logout & login again to notice a rebuilt font-cache too... – guiverc May 07 '21 at 03:01
$ sudo fc-cache -f -v, restarted, no changes 8-( – ubontik May 09 '21 at 01:07
How did you add skype? if it's via snap there is a font cache in the snap directory that you can clean, and it'll be re-created next time you start the program (I don't have skype as snap installed so I can't search for it sorry on thss box) – guiverc May 09 '21 at 01:11
I deleted snap and installed from the web. Thanks a lot! – ubontik May 11 '21 at 18:31
Does this answer your question? How do I install Skype? – karel May 12 '21 at 13:55
