Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2014-12-01 16:49:18 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 21-final by Fedora user satellit using the blocker tracking app because:

 kickstart is missing font?

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2014-12-01 18:06:39 UTC
Missing for me are:

Amharic
Arabic
Persian
Gujarati
Japanese
Kannada
Korean
Oriya
Sinhala
Tamil
Telugu
Thai
Urdu
Chinese

basically, some Indic languages and the CJKs.

Comment 3 Mike Ruckman 2014-12-01 18:19:48 UTC
Discussed in 2014-12-01 blocker review meeting. Accepted as an FE: we will accept a fix for SoaS if it is constrained to SoaS.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2014-12-01 19:39:43 UTC
So, I looked into this a bit. The SoaS kickstart explicitly drops the @fonts group which would presumably provide the necessary fonts:

%packages
-@fonts

This has been in place since mid-2012 (at least), so I don't think this is new for F21. Right now SoaS for F21 is over its size target - the RC1 image is 720MiB, the target is 700MiB.

It would probably be best to get pbrobinson's opinion and explanation of the -@fonts before making any changes here.

Comment 5 Peter Robinson 2014-12-01 22:06:50 UTC
I seem to remember we dropped the fonts due to size constraints in F-18 and that there weren't actual sugar localisation for most of the languages with issues so ultimately they might be able to install it in their own language but not use it. I'll review the various options and see what we can do

Comment 6 satellitgo 2014-12-02 00:11:15 UTC
I tested fix in flattened koji soas.ks
entry is now:

-@fonts

remove the -
did remix in f21 RC1
remix.iso Boots in VirtualBox with all languages correctly rendered

21 is done, cleaning blocker/FE process metadata.
