Bug ID: 1898319 Summary: dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts: Misleading summary Product: Fedora Version: 33 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: dejavu-fonts Severity: low Assignee: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net Reporter: van.de.bugger@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net, paul@frixxon.co.uk, peter@thecodergeek.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Summary of dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts is misleading. It is: "A variable-width Latin-Greek-Cyrillic mono-space font family". Accordingly to Wikipedia:
A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width, or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space. This contrasts with variable-width fonts, where the letters and spacings have different widths.
So, a font is either monospaced or variable-width but not both, these are mutually exclusive concepts. How dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts can be "a variable-width mono-space font family"??
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-15.fc33
How reproducible:
Always.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ dnf info dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts
Actual results:
Summary : A variable-width Latin-Greek-Cyrillic mono-space font family
Expected results:
Summary : A Latin-Greek-Cyrillic mono-space font family
