[Bug 1595414] Re: Awful generic selection for zh in Firefox
More input from Chinese users is needed to make progress on this one. Feedback on my idea in comment #6 would be appreciated, as would other ideas on the desired direction. Removing the trusty tasks for now. Let's decide what to do in the current development version first, and consider possible backporting later. ** No longer affects: fonts-arphic-ukai (Ubuntu Trusty) ** No longer affects: fonts-arphic-uming (Ubuntu Trusty) ** No longer affects: language-selector (Ubuntu Trusty) ** Changed in: fonts-arphic-ukai (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: fonts-arphic-ukai (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: fonts-arphic-uming (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: fonts-arphic-uming (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595414 Title: Awful generic selection for zh in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-arphic-ukai/+bug/1595414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1595414] Re: Awful generic selection for zh in Firefox
A simple test on 14.04 is to rename the symlink /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-arphic-ukai.conf to /etc/fonts/conf.d/66-fonts-arphic-ukai.conf ---^ $ LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 fc-match -a | grep -iE '(ar pl|droid)' | head -7 DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans Fallback" "Regular" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing CN" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing HK" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai CN" "Book" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai HK" "Book" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai TW" "Book" Would that improve things? It would give UKai lower precedence than the Chinese fonts preferred via 65-nonlatin.conf, but OTOH the latter are not included in the Chinese language support in Ubuntu 14.04+. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595414 Title: Awful generic selection for zh in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-arphic-ukai/+bug/1595414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1595414] Re: Awful generic selection for zh in Firefox
Please note that if you use a Chinese locale, it's 69-language-selector- zh-??.conf which is effective, not 65-fonts-arphic-*.conf. As regards the latter, one thought is to change it so UMing is preferred over UKai. Another thought is to drop the sans-serif items in 65-fonts- arphic-*.conf. Probably we'd need to test to see how Firefox behaves with those changes. Also, this is reasonably not a trusty specific issue. It would be good if we could study this in the current development release (yakkety) first, and then backport if we figure out something better. @Aron: Any thoughts? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595414 Title: Awful generic selection for zh in Firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-arphic-ukai/+bug/1595414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
