sans-serif and serif, and also for web browsing, since
fonts-noto-core is installed by default (probably due to the meta
package libreoffice).
That's a pretty radical change to come from fontconfig upstream.
Hello Noto, goodbye DejaVu. Was it even discussed anywhere?
The individual who made the change upstream started this discussion:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultToNotoFonts
Not much of discussion, though. ;) But thanks for the link with the
rationale from a Fedora POV.
Again, I support the change, and my question about a possible discussion
was merely out of curiosity.
