Last change: Back to Noto Sans Arabic UI for sans-serif. ** Description changed:
+ [Impact] + This is a follow-up of bug #1891733. After the new default font for Arabic had made it to focal, we got some additional feedback at - <https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/14573>. There seems to be a consensus to - make these adjustments: + <https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/14573>. After further discussion, trial + and error, and multiple changes in groovy it has landed in a consensus + to make these adjustments: - * Replace "Noto Sans Arabic UI" with "Noto Naskh Arabic UI" as - default Arabic font for sans-serif + * Rename the .conf file from 69- to 56- + + * Drop binding="strong" * Drop the specification for monospace, and with that fall back to DejaVu for Arabic monospace + + The significance of the changes, which motivates the proposed SRU, is + made up of: + + 1. Use DejaVu Sans Mono as default Arabic font for monospace + instead of the previous non-mono font + + 2. No longer conflicts with Kubuntu's custom font configuration + + [Test case] + + * Install the language-selector-{gnome,common} packages + from focal-proposed. + + * Open the Language Support tool and install Arabic. + + * Open a terminal window, run the below commands and confirm + that you get the same output: + + $ LC_CTYPE=ar_EG.UTF-8 fc-match + NotoSansArabicUI-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans Arabic UI" "Regular" + $ LC_CTYPE=ar_EG.UTF-8 fc-match monospace + DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" + + [Regression risk] + + For some users this will change the default monospace font for rendering + Arabic. That's the point. :) + + The change will only affect users with an Arabic locale. The risk that + other users would be affected by the change is low. ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Fix Committed ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu Focal) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896397 Title: [UIFe] Tweak Arabic font To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1896397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
