Switched to Wayland on my newly (minimally) installed system (as of yesterday). Installed zoom client (snap version) run fine under X but not under Wayland. I have attached the logs.

this is the issue ...

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 5: unknown element "its:rules"
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 6: unknown element "its:translateRule"
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 6: invalid attribute 'translate'
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 6: invalid attribute 'selector'
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 7: invalid attribute 'xmlns:its'
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 7: invalid attribute 'version'
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 9: unknown element "description"

you might be able to work around it by re-generating the font cache like:

sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*
fc-cache -r

looks like

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1897224

is related ... quoting from there:

On groovy Xwayland has parameters "-extension SECURITY", while focal does not.

so this needs to be fixed in snapd (or mutter/gnome-shell), not much the zoom snap can do about

Doesn't work on Fedora 33 too.

well, canonical/snapd#9530 got merged 3 days ago, the fix should be in the edge channel of snapd already for people using the snapd snap, i guess the next fedora rpm build of snapd will have it too.

i believe this has long been fixed via the above snapd commit ... please re-open in case it unexpectedly still occurs
