I think I have compiled something wrong on my end. When visiting sites with CJK fonts (e.g. https://www.unicode.org/standard/translations/japanese.html) none of the characters display (just empty blocks).

Do you have the desired font configured in ~/.dillo/dillorc ?
Something like this should work (assuming you have the font available in your OS):
font_sans_serif="Noto Sans JP"
You can use fc-match to see what a given font resolves to in your system. As I don't have Noto, it resolves DejaVu which doesn't handle Japanese either: % fc-match 'Noto Sans JP' DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" This is the same problem I described in fedi for Emojis: https://fosstodon.org/@dillo/115702790786501718 https://fosstodon.org/@dillo/115702838816687466 To make it work you can specify a font that has Japanese glyphs like Alex suggested or use a CSS rule in ~/.dillo/style.css in case the site doesn't use "sans-serif" as the font. I tried myself installing noto-fonts and noto-fonts-cjk, but then: % fc-match 'Noto Sans JP' NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular" Doesn't find it, it seems to be called "Noto Sans CJK JP": % fc-match 'Noto Sans CJK JP' NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK JP" "Regular" So this did it for me: % grep Noto ~/.dillo/dillorc font_sans_serif="Noto Sans CJK JP" Hopefully this won't be needed in FLTK 1.4, which has font substitution support (it will find a fallback font in your system that has Japanese). Best, Rodrigo.
