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: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

  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

Thanks for the report, we seem to have all spend so much time reviewing and
rewriting the spec no one reads the text anymore.

I’ll try to fix it with the next update batch (though it is currently blocked
by a redhat-rpm-config change no one seems to want to approve, so it may take
quite a lot of time)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '33'.

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 33 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.

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 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
Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

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