Screenshot for the font GUI showing "Sans"
Description of problem:
(this cannot be termed as a "bug")
The default font for Malayalam in Fedora is smc-meera-fonts. When logging into
Malayalam locale, the font details appearing on the GUI
(System->Preferences->Appearance->Font) is as shown in screenshot. It says
"Sans" instead of "Meera". This does not give any information to the normal
user about which font he is currently viewing on his desktop. I understand
there are ways to get the font information from command line interface. But how
to get this information on GUI? Please advise how this can be done and thus the
purpose of GUI can be better served in a more useful way to the user.
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Malayalam (ml_IN) locale
2. Select System->Preferences->Appearance->Font)
3. Check the font information displayed on GUI
Actual results:
font appear as "Sans"
Expected results:
...
From user point of view I feel this must be shown as "Meera", as "Sans" does
not give any information about the default font used in Malayalam
