Description Christoph Erhardt 2015-12-13 12:23:37 UTC

As of version 5.5.0, Plasma uses Noto Sans as its default font (see https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.5.0.php). Consequently, the plasma-workspace package should include a dependency to google-noto-sans-fonts.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open "System Settings" > "Fonts".
2. Click on the "Defaults" button.
3. The very first font in the alphabet will be selected instead of Noto Sans (or Oxygen Sans, for that matter).

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2015-12-13 12:39:42 UTC

Fedora/KDE uses DejaVu by default, I doubt we need this.

Comment 2 Christoph Erhardt 2015-12-13 13:07:12 UTC

I agree it's not essential nor do I feel strongly about it, but I think it would be nice to have. My point is that we should make it easy for end users to switch to the "vanilla" visual settings without the (admittedly minimal) Fedora branding.

For reference, the plasma-workspace package already does have an explicit dependency on oxygen-fonts.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2015-12-13 13:08:52 UTC

The dep on oxygen-fonts probably isn't needed either.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2015-12-13 13:09:51 UTC

For background/history, we considered using oxygen fonts too for previous fedora releases, but testing showed them to be insufficient.  That dep may be a holdover from that testing (and was never removed)

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2015-12-13 13:10:54 UTC

Maybe a soft dep, Recommends could be used here

Comment 6 Christoph Erhardt 2015-12-13 13:19:16 UTC

Thanks for the explanation! Sounds good to me.

Comment 7 Kevin Kofler 2015-12-13 21:33:24 UTC

Fedora packaging should use Fedora default fonts. What fonts upstream defaults to should be entirely irrelevant. A dependency on them is NOT wanted.

    5.17.0-2
    
    - drop qt56/moc hack (qtbase should be fixed)
    - .spec cosmetics, update URL, use %license


# as of 5.17.0, src/platformtheme/kfontsettingsdata.cpp references: Noto Sans, Oxygen-Mono
# not sure if that warrants hard deps here though -- Rex
