[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2025651] Re: default Japanese font in snap apps is ugly
Additional observation: If I refresh into FF latest/stable, the undesired line /etc/fonts/conf.d gets written into ~/snap/firefox/current/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf. I suppose the reason is that the snap from that channel is linked to gnome-3-38-2004 which has not (yet) been updated in this respect. Consequently the fix of this bug will reach all users only after: 1. the change of gnome-42-2204 has made it to latest/stable, and 2. the FF snap in latest/stable/ubuntu-23.04 is updated to a new revision. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2025651 Title: default Japanese font in snap apps is ugly Status in Snappy: Fix Committed Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Japanese fonts in snap packages such as Firefox use glyphs from Chinese fonts. non-snap packages are fine.

~/snap/firefox/current/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf was updated "automatically" on my mantic installation. Not sure which combo of circumstances made it happen, but I have core22 from the latest/candidate channel. Then I refreshed firefox (switched form latest/stable to latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10) so the revision was changed (from 2880 to 2851), and then when launching FF the fonts.conf file in question was updated as desired. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2025651 Title: default Japanese font in snap apps is ugly Status in Snappy: Fix Committed Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Japanese fonts in snap packages such as Firefox use glyphs from Chinese fonts. non-snap packages are fine.

You still have FF 115.0-2 installed and haven't refreshed into gnome-42-2204 latest/candidate.

Ok, doing $ FC_DEBUG=1024 LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 fc-match -s sans-serif | less gives a clue, it seems to read first the /snap/gnome-42-2204/current/etc/fonts/conf.d configurations but then the /etc/fonts/conf.d ones. Confirmed by moving /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-droid-sans-fallback.conf away on the system which makes the snap use NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc it manages to read /etc/fonts/65-droid-sans-fallback.conf (which points to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/) but not /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-fonts-noto- cjk.conf (which points to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail) so the first one end up winning.

I hope we will figure out the reason for this snap behavior. Otherwise there are workarounds. Not pulling fonts-droid-fallback was mentioned above.
