Hi, actualle for WPS works correctly need some fonts, and now there is no package with it, i think should be added a new font in gentoo and the dependence for wps office, here is the fonts:

What happens exactly, if the font is missing? How do you know this font is missing and adding it solves the problem?
Please answer the questions and reopen the ticket.

Is the symbols for formulas, if you don't have it you will can't see the formas symbols correctly, i test the link, and installing that fonts from github solve the problem.

When can notice this problem opening any wps app, and will send the message of missing symbols.

Lagu, please test if the installation of
media-fonts/corefonts
solves your problem too.

The linked github repo looks strange. 
There is no license and I am very sure, we may not use these files at all.

I am also unsure about that fonts set. That missing fonts have been an issue with WPS since forever (with that message)... and taking into account that the license of that set is a bit unclear... I would not package it yet :/

It seems that Jonas did what I was going to do too ;)
Comment 6 Lagu 2018-10-13 20:52:27 UTC
Hi, i test corefonts and sadly dont solve the problem, i already have installed a lot of fonts (i install al fonts i can available), but i confirm the message of missed fonts is solved at least with that fonts from github.

Maybe we need a best source for WPS fonts, if i remember right ubuntu have a package for this, and other distros too.
