Title:
Please apply the upstream commit to drop Bitstream Vera fonts
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in fontconfig package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Upstream dropped Bitstream Vera fonts, please apply that fix in the
Ubuntu package.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/fcb042028126d79ea5a5fa015b2b034b98656e73
Rationale:
DejaVu font extends the Bitstream Vera font, and is already installed
by default. Besides, the Bitstream Vera font is very obsolete, looks
worse than DejaVu and sometimes as a negative side effect it takes
over as a default font when installed (without DejaVu).
After applying the upstream fix, this Ubuntu patch becomes obsolete
(03_prefer_dejavu.patch):
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/tree/debian/patches/03_prefer_dejavu.patch
You may also think about updating the whole package to an up-to-date
snapshot, since the last Debian/Ubuntu version update was in 2018.
