I would guess that they didn't want to actually *say* "We have no idea what's 
going on here, so let's bat it upstream."

Hmmm.  By "Dolphin", do you mean the non-default TDE file management
program, or the default KDE file management program, or the Gamecube 
emulator?

The reason I ask is that VLC is a QT5 or QT6 program depending on
version, and two of the Dolphins are as well.  That would point to some
problem with QT5 or QT6, since Firefox is GTK.  If it's TDE's Dolphin,
that isn't the problem, though.

Does Konqueror have any problems, or is it OK?

It actually isn't bad advice, and would have fixed most common missing-glyphs
problems.  However, I don't think that's what you have here.

You said in one of your earlier messages that this was affecting italic text.  Are
you absolutely certain?  That's exceptionally weird and points to a problem with
the widget libraries, or fontconfig, or X font handling.

Have you changed any font settings on your system?  That includes font
settings in the TDE Control Center, in any other program, or any setting
that's related to fontconfig.

Have you removed any fonts from your system, either by uninstalling through
the package manager or just deleting their files?

Have you installed any fonts other than Noto?

Did you install the programs that are having trouble through the system package
manager, or through some other method (like flatpak or compiling your own
copies)?

Have you ever installed any themes or created any settings for QT5/QT6?
