Anything else?

[elvis-hrvat]

Cryptomator should respect the system font, as set in the desktop environment. It should not hard coat specific fonts.

[elvis-hrvat]

To begin with, Cryptomator developers lack understanding of CJK fonts. This is a bit terrible.

What Cryptomator should do is not bundle CJK fonts.
It is to use the fonts specified in the OS and desktop environment settings; neither should Cryptomator have additional font change settings. It is the OS's job to set which fonts are applied to the user interface.

It is the OS's job to set which fonts are applied to the user interface.

I fully agree, but as you can see in the linked issues, the OS does not always do its job. Bundling the font was the only workaround that solved the issue.

I am very sorry for not knowing something. Instead of stating how terrible our lack of knowledge is, please propose a solution then. Or do you expect us to know things without people being willing to teach us?
