It's WebKit that does. The web content is handled by a process (separate from the UI process) that runs inside a bubblewrap sandbox. In this case you need the portal in order to have access to the font settings: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/2861#issuecomment-494145504 It won't fail horribly if you don't have the portal installed, if you're using X11 in principle it should work fine, but under Wayland you won't get antialiased fonts.
