[Bug 1806272] New: forge-font macro transition causes broken dependencies

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1806272 Bug ID: 1806272 Summary: forge-font macro transition causes broken dependencies Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: dejavu-fonts Assignee: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net Reporter: decathorpe(a)gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net, paul(a)frixxon.co.uk, peter(a)thecodergeek.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora With the transition to new forge-based fonts macros, the -common subpackage was dropped, but some packages depend on that. They are now not installable on fedora 32+ because that package is gone (only Obsoleted, not Provided). This affects at least python3-weasyprint. Additionally, the sdljava-demo package now has broken dependencies as well: - /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf - /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf - /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf - /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf Probably those files were renamed with the forge macro transition. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1820166] New: Droid sans overrides my default CJK font

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1820166 Bug ID: 1820166 Summary: Droid sans overrides my default CJK font Product: Fedora Version: 32 Status: NEW Component: google-droid-fonts Severity: low Assignee: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net Reporter: taocrismon(a)hotmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net, oliver(a)redhat.com, paul(a)frixxon.co.uk, tremble(a)tremble.org.uk Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: I have this (per-user) fontconfig configuration to set my preferred sans-serif font: <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Noto Sans</family> <family>Noto Sans CJK SC</family> </prefer> </alias> It should fall back to "Noto Sans CJK SC" when displaying CJK characters. Since F32 this isn't working anymore. CJK characters are rendered in a different font, which I cannot recognize. Digging through fc_debug logs, "Droid Sans" is appended right after "Noto Sans", before "Noto Sans CJK SC" in the font matching list. Debug messages confirm it's indeed Droid Sans getting picked. Removing the relevant part in /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-google-droid-sans-fonts.conf mitigates this issue. However since both Noto Sans & Droid Sans do not contain CJK characters, they should both be skipped in favor of CJK fonts. Could this be a metadata problem? i.e. Droid Sans wrongly advertises as CJK capable.

[Bug 2013083] New: 31-cantarell.conf causes inconsistent font choice for numerals and symbols when the system locale is zh-*

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2013083 Bug ID: 2013083 Summary: 31-cantarell.conf causes inconsistent font choice for numerals and symbols when the system locale is zh-* Product: Fedora Version: 35 Status: NEW Component: abattis-cantarell-fonts Assignee: klember(a)redhat.com Reporter: vtq-gnome(a)outlook.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: cosimo.cecchi(a)gmail.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, klember(a)redhat.com, mark(a)net-c.com, me(a)fale.io, tagoh(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Link ID: GNOME Gitlab GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4683 Classification: Fedora Created attachment 1832054 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1832054&action=edit Inconsistent font for numerals and symbols in Nautilus Description of problem: In Fedora Workstation, the GNOME desktop is using Cantarell as its main font. However, the following section in /etc/fonts/conf.d/31-cantarell.conf, which comes from Fedora's abattis-cantarell-fonts package, allows the font choice to be overridden: <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>Cantarell</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="weak"> <string>Cantarell</string> </edit> </match> $ env LANG=en_US.utf8 fc-match Cantarell Cantarell-Regular.otf: "Cantarell" "Regular" $ env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 fc-match Cantarell NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Regular" GTK/Pango seems to select a font based on the language of the text, and the decision is affected by the context. When the text is only numerals and symbols it will assume the language from the locale. This kind of decisions seems to be reasonable too. So for example, Latin script will still be displayed with Cantarell. "1234567890" will be displayed with Noto Sans CJK while "1234567890 GNOME" will be displayed with Cantarell (see screenshot): $ env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 pango-view --markup -t '<span face="Cantarell" font_features="tnum" size="xx-large">1234567890</span>' $ env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 pango-view --markup -t '<span face="Cantarell" font_features="tnum" size="xx-large">1234567890 GNOME</span>' As a result, numerals and symbols in the GNOME UI are sometimes displayed with Cantarell and sometimes displayed with Noto Sans CJK (see screenshots). The inconsistency makes the UI appear broken. This is especially noticeable for time in various places of the UI, because time is displayed in Noto Sans CJK and the separator between hour and minute (a ratio symbol, which is a full-width glyth in Noto Sans CJK and many other CJK fonts) has extra blank space around it. (See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4683) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.301-3.fc35 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In GNOME desktop, choose "中文臺灣", "中文香港", or "汉语中国" in "Settings" – "Region & Language" – "Language". 2. Log out & log in. Actual results: Numerals and symbols in the GNOME UI are sometimes displayed with Cantarell and sometimes displayed with Noto Sans CJK (see screenshots). Expected results: Numerals and symbols should be consistently displayed with the same font, ideally the same as the Latin alphabet. Since GNOME explicitly requests Cantarell as UI font, Cantarell should be used here. Noto Sans CJK would only be used as fallback for Chinese characters which are not covered by Cantarell. Note that other common Latin fonts in the system are not overridden by Noto Sans CJK like Cantarell is: $ env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 fc-match "DejaVu Sans" DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Regular" $ env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 fc-match "Liberation Sans" LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular" $ env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 fc-match "Nimbus Sans" NimbusSans-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Sans" "Regular" Generally in mixed use of Latin and Chinese fonts, it is common to use the selected Latin font for numbers and symbols and only fallback to the Chinese font for glyths not covered. This is seen in word processors (e.g. LibreOffice), Flatpak apps (because the Freedesktop runtime doesn't have font config similar to the 31-cantarell.conf), as well as other OS (e.g. MacOS, Android). By deleting the previously mentioned fontconfig section in 31-cantarell.conf, the expected results can be achieved (see screenshots). env LANG=zh_CN.utf8 fc-match Cantarell Cantarell-Regular.otf: "Cantarell" "Regular" Additional info: In my test without the relevant fontconfig section everything seems to be working very well and I've not noticed any adverse effect. But I'm not aware of why it was originally included in the package. An alternative solution is to use Noto Sans CJK for everything if the locale is zh-*. But this is less favorable because it's against upstream choice of Cantarell and needs a change in gsettings-desktop-schemas for these locales. The clock separator issue would additionally need workarounds in Nautilus and in GNOME translations to fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2013083

Primarily: lock screen time, unlock password entry field, and the top bar calendar view. See attached screenshots. For one of the machines it stopped doing it after a week or 2. The other machines kept doing it until I changed the `Interface Text` font using TweakTool, the default is Cantarell Regular, and any other font seems to be fine, including other Cantarell fonts.

But I haven't been able to make it happen on other machines that arent experiencing the issue. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Fedora 33 with Gnome, using defaults Actual results: You will either experience the problem or you won't. Expected results: Fonts to be rendered properly.
