Package: xfonts-wqy Version: 0.9.9-2 Severity: normal After upgrading xfonts-wqy from 0.7.0-6-1.2 to 0.9.9-2, the fontconfig setting file in /etc/fonts/ has been changed.
Previously it only enables bitmap fonts for "WenQuanYi Bitmap Song", which is controlled by the debconf question. Now the fontconfig setting also sets the font as default (or increases its priority, I don't exactly understand that part) for the following languages: en, en-us, zh-cn, zh-tw, zh-hk, and zh-sg. This affects my system in two ways AFAICS: (1) GNOME desktops using zh_CN.UTF-8 locales now uses WenQuanYi font as interface instead of the previously used Arphic font. My font setting is the default, so it just uses "Sans" for interface. (2) My en_US.UTF-8 locale GNOME desktop now uses WenQuanYi font instead of Arphic in iceape for Chinese webpages. The font setting for iceape is default, too. I don't like these changes. But now there is no way to enable WenQuanYi bitmap fonts but not use it by default, by debconf configurations. It's both or nothing. I had to answer no to the debconf question and add the bitmap enabling part to my ~/.fonts.conf to achieve what I want. It would be nice if the two fontconfig settings can be set separately through debconf. At the very least, the debconf question should accurately describe the effect of the fontconfig setting file shipped in the package.
