I see a potential conflict with Japanese users here: they prefer Japanese glyph shapes. 65-nonlatin.conf comes from upstream fontconfig and generally we don't touch those but add additional config files if we see a need for them. Therefor we provided the 69-language-selector-$lang files, to give the user the choice which CJK fonts they prefer. For non-CJK locale users, the only way to activate those settings is to use fontconfig-voodoo on the command line. However, our preferred solution is to give the user full control over his font settings: that's what I'm currently working on. A GUI called font-selector, which gives the user full control over font preference, hinting, anti-aliasing and embedded bitmap usage. Bottom line: every user has different preferences, providing one configuration that fits everyone is impossible. In an ideal world, everyone would use markup text with language tags for every paragraph or word. Then we could choose the appropriate font automatically. Therefor, I think we should add one config file which sets the appropriate fonts for each language tag environment, then at least web browsers should be able to get the correct font if the text is tagged appropriately (which is unfortunately very seldom). -- 64-ttf-arphic-uming.conf makes Uming default sans-serif over wqy-zenhei https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
