--- Comment #24 from Oleg Oshmyan <chor...@inbox.lv> --- > > Fontconfig doesn't remove the font from the complete font list seen by > > libass > > No, not exactly. What libass does is to obtain *all* the font list for > sans-serif no matter what coverage they are. As I said earlier, libass has an > own function to filter out fonts. The list returned by Fontconfig is ordered by priority. libass uses the first (highest-priority) font that satisfies the request. The choice of priority lies entirely with Fontconfig. Then, libass looks up this font in the full list of fonts installed on the system, which includes Arabic fonts regardless of locale, because it does want to be able to render Arabic files on any system. > Again, Noto Sans Arabic doesn't have "en" coverage and isn't supposed to be > used for Latin characters in theory, regardless of whether there are > lang="ar" line or not, *except* applications do the special things. But Latin *isn't the problem*. It's digits. Noto Sans Arabic contains digit glyphs. When it is the system's default font, applications have no reason not to use those glyphs. Application says: draw this number in sans-serif Fontconfig says: the top sans-serif font is Noto Sans Arabic libass says: OK, here's your number set in Noto Sans Arabic > libass doesn't support variable fonts well then. libass doesn't support variable fonts at all, except in a few edge cases where Fontconfig makes them look like dedicated physical fonts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2262410 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202262410%23c24 -- _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-bugs-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
