I installed the program on my notebook which in principle has the same
system version as the desktop, and there birdfont also works...

This is the output from the desktop:

LANG=C ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       27 May  8 12:14 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 -> libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0.13.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76081696 May  8 12:14 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0.13.5

jsbien@JSBbookworm:~$ birdfont
birdfont: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: undefined symbol: gst_transcoder_get_sync_signal_adapter

Could the kernel be the culprit??? I avoid to reboot the system because
sometimes it fails for unknown reason (perhaps a hardware problem?). So on
the desktop the kernel is older than on the notebook, on which the
program works.

Best regards
