[Bug 1872492] Re: Setting in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf causes Arimo font to be rendered weirdly in Firefox
I agree with Matteo Italia. Some of my users do use KDE desktop, but setting global system wide fonts settings (wrong) for other Desktop users is not the way to do KDE settings. If I just remove this file completely, I think the system will just work better, even for KDE users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872492 Title: Setting in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf causes Arimo font to be rendered weirdly in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1872492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

But more in general, I think that kubuntu-settings shipping system-wide font hinting overrides to fonts used by a ton of applications/sites deeply wrong. IDK what you wanted to accomplish here, but that's not the way nor the right package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872492 Title: Setting in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf causes Arimo font to be rendered weirdly in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1872492/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

This is still a problem; the aforementioned file ruins fonts rendering in Firefox in many common sites (Twitter, Gitlab, many Google sites). The easiest fix for me was to remove the /etc/fonts/conf.d/56-kubuntu- noto.conf symlink completely, and add it to dpkg excludes, putting ``` # Ignore defective kubuntu fontconfig directives path-exclude=/etc/fonts/conf.d/56-kubuntu-noto.conf ``` in a file under /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d. Please fix this ASAP, it greatly degrades the browsing experience. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872492 Title: Setting in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf causes Arimo font to be rendered weirdly in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1872492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Attachment added: "Arimo in Firefox with passage in 56-kubuntu-noto.conf commented out, correct rendering" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1872492/+attachment/5353350/+files/Screenshot_20200413_171725.png ** Description changed: Hello, I discovered that the font Arimo from the package fonts-croscore is rendered in weird way in Firefox. Steps to reproduce: - On Kubuntu Focal install package fonts-croscore - Open a website that has text where Arimo gets chosen as font (Arimo seems to be considered as the default font for sans-serif text by Firefox when it is installed) - The text looks a bit weird an ugly (at least to me) - Compare the text in Firefox with the same text in LibreOffice Writer (choose Arimo as font) In other applications as Firefox (e.g. LibreOffice, KDE Font Viewer, Chromium) Arimo looks exactly the same as the font Liberation Sans. I managed to track this down - since the font is rendered correctly in - Ubuntu with Gnome desktop, I looked for Kubuntu specific font settings - and found out that the following passage in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56 - -kubuntu-noto.conf is responsible for the bad rendering: + Firefox on Ubuntu with Gnome desktop, I looked for Kubuntu specific font + settings and found out that the following passage in + /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf is responsible for the bad + rendering: - - Arimo - true - hintfull - false - + + Arimo + true + hintfull + false + If I comment this out, then Firefox renders text in Arimo correctly like all other applications. I have attached two screenshots that compare the rendering in Firefox with default settings and with the respective passage in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf commented out.
