--- Begin Message ---Package: fontconfig-config Version: 2.13.1-4.2 Severity: normal Since fonts-dejavu 2.37-2, 60-latin.conf is no longer overridden by the default fonts-dejavu-core configuration. As a consequence, Bitstream Vera is preferred to DejaVu, e.g. for monospace: <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family> <family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family> <family>Inconsolata</family> <family>Andale Mono</family> <family>Courier New</family> <family>Cumberland AMT</family> <family>Luxi Mono</family> <family>Nimbus Mono L</family> <family>Nimbus Mono</family> <family>Nimbus Mono PS</family> <family>Courier</family> </prefer> </alias> This is an issue since Bitstream Vera is very incomplete, at least compared to DejaVu. In particular, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono does not have box drawing characters and this breaks box drawing in Emacs when one uses a generic font name (thus hoping to get the best font). -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fontconfig-config depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.74 ii fonts-croscore 20200323-1 ii fonts-dejavu-core 2.37-2 ii fonts-freefont-otf 20120503-10 ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-10 ii fonts-liberation 1:1.07.4-11 ii fonts-liberation2 2.1.0-1 ii fonts-texgyre 20180621-3 ii fonts-urw-base35 20170801.1-3 ii ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-8 ii ucf 3.0042 fontconfig-config recommends no packages. fontconfig-config suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * fontconfig/hinting_style: hintslight * fontconfig/enable_bitmaps: false * fontconfig/subpixel_rendering: Automatic * fontconfig/hinting_type: Native -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
