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

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.
