Bug ID: 1571522 Summary: Reduce fontconfig priority to higher than 65 Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: google-droid-fonts Assignee: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net Reporter: petersen@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net, paul@frixxon.co.uk, tremble@tremble.org.uk
Description of problem: Droid Sans fonts currently have high priority of 65 in Fedora and since the fonts get pulled in libgs they are now installed by default... Can the priority of the fonts please be reduced (eg increased to 66 or higher)?

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot F28 Live WS 2. $ fc-match :lang=th
Actual results: DroidSansThai is default for Thai
Expected results: Thai Scalable Waree should be default

--- Comment #2 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- Unfortunately that doesn't work as long as google-droid-sans.conf sits down at 65 because of the order of filename in alphabetical. even though "Waree" is also put into 65-nonlatin.conf which fontconfig upstream ships, it comes after google-droid-sans.conf because of the same reason. Some font packages has 65-n- prefix to work this around but I think we should update the fontconfig priorities policy[1] with more details, for default and for non-default fonts say.
