[Bug 1349567] New: avoid using special purpose fonts such as apx-fonts
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349567
Bug ID: 1349567
Summary: avoid using special purpose fonts such as apx-fonts
Product: Fedora
Version: 23
Component: fontconfig
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: htl10(a)users.sourceforge.net
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

Description of problem:
I started noticing many web pages on firefox, icecat, etc using a rather
undesirable choice of fonts a while ago, and finally tracked it down with
gnome-font-viewer to see which font is that. It is apx-fonts .
/usr/share/fonts/apx/04b03.ttf .
The problem is that its name starts with "04b03", and therefore comes first in
a fair number of font matches (don't know the exact criteria, but often
enough)...
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apx-fonts-0.1-3.fc23.noarch
fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc23.x86_64
fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc23.i686
How reproducible:
Always, since installing it (I installed a whole lot of fonts a while ago,
basically just did "dnf install -y *fonts").
Steps to Reproduce:
1. installing apx-fonts
2. go to some web sites
3.
Actual results:
undesirable font choice.
Expected results:
pick something more suitable.
Additional info:
I know I can configure it myself in ~/.config/fontconfig, but fedora should
help in avoiding these in the first place; since "dnf install -y *fonts" is
probably common enough action.
