https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676253 --- Comment #8 from Nicolas Mailhot <[email protected]> 2011-02-17 06:08:43 EST --- fontconfig should fallback to dejavu if cantarell is missing some glyphs. Now, there are many reasons why it may not work : 1. someone decided to install cantarell, without installing dejavu (nothing to fallback to) 2. some software stacks may forcibly disable fontconfig fallback (web people like to do this because they prefer CSS fallback to system fallback – except CSS rules for i18n are usually junk) 3. cantarell declares it includes glyphs but does not really (this may cause ?? symbols) → a bug in the fonts Anyway, I think the current packaging guidelines are fine, but art people need to learn that High priority LGC (latin Greek Cyrillic) fonts mean fonts with decent Latin Greek Cyrillic coverage and not just ASCII fonts. If that's not clear enough, change the guidelines to forbid fonts that do not provide at least mes-2 or mes-3 coverage to appear above 59 priority in sans (serif and mono are less critical) http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
