Likely missing the required fonts on your system. Do other GTK apps have the same issue?
I have a qalculate GTK and they can rendered East Asian font properly. What do you think?
The issue is for Nicotine Flatpak app

I don't know how does it works in the flatpak...

Did you try another install method as well to confirm that the problem doesn't exist in the ppa or deb package install method?
Yes, I checked that the PPA version works better than Flatpak one.
It could be an issue with the font cache. Could you rename /home/<user>/.var/app/org.nicotine_plus.Nicotine/cache/fontconfig to e.g. fontconfig.old, and see if that changes anything?
Do you mean these empty folders right? it does not worked
Sounds like a problem with the flatpak library that provides the fonts.
