[Bug 2113077] New: Noto Rashi Hebrew font is selected as serif hebrew font

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2113077

            Bug ID: 2113077
           Summary: Noto Rashi Hebrew font is selected as serif hebrew
                    font
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 36
            Status: NEW
         Component: google-noto-fonts
          Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
          Reporter: matan(a)svgalib.org
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

                    pwu(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



Description of problem:

After upgrading from Fedora 34 to 36, a GTK program that requests "serif" font
displays hebrew characters in "Noto Rashi Hebrew". The letters in this font are
hardly recognisable as Hebrew letters, and should not be used unless
specifically selected. 

Noto fonts version:
20201206-9.fc36

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install google-noto-rashi-hebrew-vf-fonts but not
google-noto-serif-hebrew-vf-fonts
2. Install other serif fonts with Hebrew  glyphs
3. Run `fc-match serif:lang=he`

Actual results:
NotoRashiHebrew-VF.ttf: "Noto Rashi Hebrew" "Regular"

Expected results:
Any font other than Rashi font

Additional info:
Rashi cannot be considered a normal Hebrew font.It should not be selected by
default unless it is the only font on the system, and probably not even then.

The family name in
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/56-google-noto-rashi-hebrew-vf.conf should be
changed to "rashi", or at least anything that is not serif, sans or mono.

Thanks for reporting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashi_script

I think we should also replace google-noto-rashi-hebrew-vf-fonts by
google-noto-serif-hebrew-vf-fonts in langpacks-he.
