Fedora uses language provides on fonts, so you can see which scripts are supported in your currently-installed fonts: rpm -q --whatprovides 'font(:lang=hy)' or in fonts you may not have installed: yum whatprovides 'font(:lang=hy)' -- Paul Flo Williams http://hisdeedsaredust.com/category/fonts/feed -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Right clicking on a glyph in gucharmap will tell you the actual font used for drawing in replacement of the font selected in the interface. Though dejavu includes some Armenian support IIRC, and that's probably the font you're seing. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Font fallback for non-latin unicode chars
When you open a page with Armenian characters such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_language the font server (or perhaps xulrunner) digs around to find a font that has that codepoint. Often it's just one font in your system that can provide it (so if you ask for it to be styled in serif, sans, monospace... it's always the same). Is there a way to query (or see a log) that describes what font has been used? Or a means to query what fonts supply unicode codepoint N? Background: Current default Fedora desktop install has the right fonts for that page. OLPC's image trims things aggressively to fit in a tiny disk, so our current img doesn't include the right font. I am preparing a custom img for Armenian users, so trying to find... what font it is I am missing. I can bisect the delta if it gets to that... faster methods sought ;-) cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
