[Bug 2093080] New: Default fonts for Arabic do not match the font packages list
by bugzilla＠redhat.com 15 Mar '24

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2093080 Bug ID: 2093080 Summary: Default fonts for Arabic do not match the font packages list Product: Fedora Version: 36 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: fontconfig Severity: medium Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com Reporter: awilliam(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: ajax(a)redhat.com, caillon+fedoraproject(a)gmail.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, gnome-sig(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, mclasen(a)redhat.com, pnemade(a)redhat.com, rhughes(a)redhat.com, rstrode(a)redhat.com, sandmann(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora There's a test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_i18n_default_fonts which requires checking the default fonts for various languages against a list, http://tagoh.fedorapeople.org/fonts/fc-test.sh . The current default fonts for Arabic installs do not match the list. The list states sans should be DejaVu Sans, serif should be FreeSerif or MPH 2B Damase, and mono should be DejaVu Sans Mono. These may have been changed recently, as our openQA reference text file expects them to be Noto Naskh Arabic (for both sans and serif?) and PakType Naskh Basic for mono. In any case, what we actually see doesn't match either the list or the openQA reference file. We see "Noto Sans Arabic" and "PakType Naqsh" in the output from the test, I think for serif (yes really) and monospace respectively. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2093080

[Bug 2096153] New: strange font priorities in Firefox

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2096153 Bug ID: 2096153 Summary: strange font priorities in Firefox Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: google-droid-fonts Assignee: ali.erdinc.koroglu(a)intel.com Reporter: tagoh(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: ali.erdinc.koroglu(a)intel.com, contact(a)dannycolin.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net, oliver(a)redhat.com, skyfaller(a)gmail.com Depends On: 2062386 Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Cloning to focus on the Droid specific issue here. please ignore URW related description. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2062386 +++ Description of problem: Sometimes, when using a native font stack in CSS on a web page, fonts that are not in the font stack at all are substituted for the desired fonts. This only seems to affect web pages viewed using: - Fedora (not Ubuntu, Debian 11, or Manjaro) - Firefox (not Chrome or Chromium) - When using the RPM version or Mozilla's official build from their website (not the Flatpak) Happens in the stable version of Firefox, Firefox Beta, and Firefox nightly. Two substitutions I've identified so far: - Droid Sans is substituted for Open Sans - P052 is substituted for 'URW Palladio L' or Palatino Substituting for Palatino may be less objectionable, since that's a generic choice, but URW Palladio L is rather specific and it's surprising to see the substitution. This also wouldn't be as objectionable if the font substitutions were better. Droid Sans doesn't look much like Open Sans at all, and P052 looks really ugly (it has unevenly sized letters). In Firefox Flatpak, it instead substitutes the better-looking 'TeX Gyre Pagella', and only does that for Palatino, not for 'URW Palladio L' (which was higher priority in my font stack). This is more desirable behavior. The source of the problem seems to be that if you run the following command: fc-match :family="Open Sans" It returns Droid Sans. Possibly related bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1820166 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1406790 How reproducible: Consistently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a clean Fedora 35 install, and verify that Open Sans is not installed. 2. Create the following web page and view it in a browser: ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title></title> <style> h1,h2,h3,h4 { font-family: Open Sans, Fira Sans; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Hello World</h1> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p> </body> </html> ``` Alternately, view a real live (but more complex) website at https://www.maximumethics.dev/ Actual results: Notice that the text on the webpage is displayed in Droid Sans, not Open Sans. Expected results: The webpage displays the next available font in the font stack, Fira Sans in this case, or the browser's default font if you don't have Fira Sans. --- Additional comment from Akira TAGOH on 2022-03-30 09:26:08 UTC --- Well, maybe good to file a separate bug to object each substitutions. For Open Sans, google-droid-sans-fonts has the following config: <alias binding="same"> <family>Open Sans</family> <accept> <family>Droid Sans</family> </accept> </alias> This is the reason why you see that behavior. For URW Palladio L, urw-base35-fonts-common has the following config: <alias binding="same"> <family>URW Palladio L</family> <accept> <family>P052</family> </accept> </alias> And finally for Palatino, it is in urw-base35-p052-fonts: <alias binding="same"> <family>Palatino</family> <accept> <family>P052</family> </accept> </alias> Although those urw config are coming from upstream. so if you have any objections for them, it would be good to talk with URW upstream.

[Bug 2230471] New: [Lenovo] GB 18030-2022 compliant Chinese font needed for OS preloads in China
by bugzilla＠redhat.com 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2230471 Bug ID: 2230471 Summary: [Lenovo] GB 18030-2022 compliant Chinese font needed for OS preloads in China Product: Fedora Version: 38 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Fonts Assignee: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Reporter: mpearson(a)lenovo.com QA Contact: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: The Chinese government have made it a requirement that OS vendors support GB 18030-2022. To my understanding this means that the preloaded OS needs to have a font that supports this spec and if we don't have that we won't be able to ship the Fedora OS in China. I believe Fedora has the google-noto-cjk-fonts package and it looks like they are working on having compliance for this specification (based on https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk/issues/252) The font is not part of the default install so I wanted to open the conversation as to whether it can be included in the default workstation include please. If there is another font that is compliant available that I've missed let me know - this isn't a world I know well (despite, bizarrely, the very first job I ever had was making it so vector fonts could be rasterised for display :)) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: N/A 1. 2. 3. Actual results: no compliant Chinese font available Expected results:Compliant Chinese font available Additional info:Let me know if there is anything we can help with directly here.
