Thanks for reporting the issue!

To better understand the details, could you run the following command and share the output?

/usr/bin/fc-match --format %{file}

This will check the system’s default font file.

Also, just a heads-up— even if this issue gets resolved, I can’t guarantee the software will work on Arch Linux.

Appreciate your help!

I installed Microsoft Yahei since some software I use need it.

That shouldn't be a problem, there's a little tool named debtap, which can convert .deb file to archlinux package.

Can be temporarily solved by changing fontconfig of linux, it's a problem of certain package of font noto-fonts-cjk, bug report: Link
From mid 2024, this .conf file was deleted, it may cause some unexpected fonts fallback, especially when user installed fonts like msyh.ttc or simsun.ttc which likes me.

Solution:
Use your own editor to create a conf, like 64-xxxx.conf, "64" is to ensure it is before 65-nonlatin.conf, for me it is:
sudo vim /etc/fonts/conf.d/64-noto-fonts-fix-oldherl-zh.conf
Configuration:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
                <family>serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Noto Serif CJK SC</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK SC</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>monospace</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

Change font name to your own's or ensure you have installed fonts above, restart would be needed.

Note:

• Desktop environment UI font shall looks different (maybe "accurate", I didn't realize this inaccurancy before), also ./Beutl can launch flawlessly.
• I'm not sure this is a correct solution since it need to change a configuration, but should close for now, re-open when someone has better solution.
