Bug ID: 1068918
           Summary: Google Droid Sans font is displayed as [unknown] and
                    [monotype], it breaks GTK+ apps view in KDE
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: google-droid-fonts

   External Bug ID: Red Hat Bugzilla 963502

Description of problem:
>

[google-droid-sans-fonts] package is broken since F18. I want to select 'Droid
Sans' font for KDE UI, but this font is displayed twice at [systemsettings]:
with [unknown] and [monotype] suffixes. If I apply anyone of them, only KDE/Qt
apps use 'Droid Sans' font, but GTK2/GTK3 apps use the defaul font (DejaVu
Sans).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
>

google-droid-sans-fonts-20120715-6.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
>

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
>

1. [yum install google-droid-sans-fonts];
2. start KDE session;
3. launch <select UI fonts> dialog at [systemsettings];
4. 'Droid Sans' font is displayed twice: with [unknown] and [monotype]
suffixes;
5. select and apply anyone — 'Droid Sans [unknown]' or 'Droid Sans [monotype]';
6. KDE/Qt apps use the Droid Sans font, but GTK2/GTK3 apps use the defaul font
(DejaVu Sans).

Actual results:
>

'Droid Sans' font is not applied for GTK2/GTK3 apps. This font is displayed
twice at [systemsettings]: with [unknown] and [monotype] suffixes.

Expected results:
>

'Droid Sans' font is applied for all the apps. This font is displayed once at
[systemsettings] — without any suffix.

Additional info:
>

This bug is several years old.

--- Comment #1 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

--- Comment #2 from Nicolas Mailhot  ---
As far as I know it's a bug in KDE font selection code

Droid has a complex fontconfig setup it trips naïve font processing (IIRC
chromium people had to fix their font selector when we first published this
package)

--- Comment #3 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
