Ali <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flags| |needinfo?([email protected]) | |needinfo?([email protected]) --- Comment #4 from Ali <[email protected]> --- > With Droid Arabic Kufi font installed? or without? Yes with Droid Arabic Kufi font installed, Ubuntu's firefox doesn't prioritize droid kufi over noto-sans. Also gnome epiphany browser on ubuntu uses noto sans, while fedora's gnome web browser completely favours kufi droid. The kufi droid isn't available as a package in ubuntu so I copied the ttf from fedora and installed it in ubuntu using gnome fonts app. can't reproduce the issue even after i reinstalled fontconfig in ubuntu to regenerate the fontcache. Intrestingly I believe ubuntu is using fonts-droid-fallback package That i beileve (don't know) links droid names to sans fonts as arabic noto fonts were historically dorid fonts. For example they have noto-kufi-arabic preinstalled which is exactly the same as droid kufi just different name but noto-sans-arabic is always prioritized. Not sure if this has any relevance. > This looks more likely a firefox specific problem. let me reassign this to > firefox so far. Possibly, but isn't that unlikely considering the problem is also replicated using gnome web on fedora but not on ubuntu's gnome web? In addition, there are more problems with arabic font config in fedora. For example, if dejavu fonts are installed on fedora, they automatically become prioritized over anything noto for arabic. this happens in both Gnome web and firefox(private windows). Dejavu was the previously the default for arabic, considering it's very ugly and gets installed as dep for popular packages like vlc, I think this may warrant further investigation. Interestingly, Ubuntu still keeps dejavu preinstalled, but again it never get prioritized over noto sans for arabic like in fedora.
