            Bug ID: 1349567
           Summary: avoid using special purpose fonts such as apx-fonts
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 23
         Component: fontconfig

Description of problem:
I started noticing many web pages on firefox, icecat, etc using a rather
undesirable choice of fonts a while ago, and finally tracked it down with
gnome-font-viewer to see which font is that. It is apx-fonts .
/usr/share/fonts/apx/04b03.ttf .

The problem is that its name starts with "04b03", and therefore comes first in
a fair number of font matches (don't know the exact criteria, but often
enough)...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apx-fonts-0.1-3.fc23.noarch
fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc23.x86_64
fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc23.i686

How reproducible:
Always, since installing it (I installed a whole lot of fonts a while ago,
basically just did "dnf install -y *fonts").

Steps to Reproduce:
1. installing apx-fonts
2. go to some web sites
3.

Actual results:
undesirable font choice.

Expected results:
pick something more suitable.

Additional info:
I know I can configure it myself in ~/.config/fontconfig, but fedora should
help in avoiding these in the first place; since "dnf install -y *fonts" is
probably common enough action.
