           Summary: Useless font auto-installer calls
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: fontconfig
        AssignedTo: besfahbo(a)redhat.com
        ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
         QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: besfahbo(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
    Classification: Fedora


The font stack triggers the PK font auto-installer for stuff like N'ko or
Ancient Persian for which fontconfig has no orthography

Therefore, those calls will never succeed and the user is bothered for no good
reason

fc-query/cache should also generate PK metadata for unicode blocks, so that
when the font stack needs a glyph which is not part of an orthography, PK can
search for fonts that cover the corresponding unicode block (stuff like symbols
will probably never make it in an orth)
