Version

Version 0.16.2.1 (Official Build, Chromium 152.0.7977.64) Arch Linux (x86_64)

Have you tested that this is not an upstream issue or an issue with your configuration?

  • I have tried reproducing this issue in Chrome and it could not be reproduced there
  • I have tried reproducing this issue in ungoogled-chromium and it could not be reproduced there
  • I have tried reproducing this issue in Helium with a new and empty profile using --user-data-dir command line argument and it could not be reproduced there

Description

Pretty simple issue: Atleast in my version of the Helium Browser on Linux, hyphenation isn't being applied at all. Counter-tested it with a very simple setup in Firefox and Chromium

How to Reproduce?

this is a simple test page that doesn't work in helium-linux

<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>hyphenation</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      Das Beurteilungsgremium schreibt: „Die Qualität des vorliegenden Entwurfs
      liegt in seiner Einfachheit, dem sehr präzisen Hinschauen und dem
      schlüssigen und folgerichtigen Justieren der Defizite als Resultat einer
      gleichberechtigten städtebaulichen und landschaftsarchitektonischen
      Diskussion und Zusammenarbeit. Verletzliche Eingangs- und
      Terrassenbereiche werden mittels Grünstrukturen geschützt und zu Gunsten
      einer lebendigen, wohltuend raumeinnehmenden Mitte geklärt.
