But we have a package with Coptic fonts: google-noto-sans-coptic-fonts-20201206-2.fc34.noarch I am not sure whether this is really a bug in fontconfig, I was just guessing when choosing “Component: fontconfig”. $ fc-list | grep -i cop /usr/share/fonts/google-noto/NotoSansCoptic-Regular.ttf: Noto Sans Coptic:style=Regular ... $ rpm -qf /usr/share/fonts/google-noto/NotoSansCoptic-Regular.ttf google-noto-sans-coptic-fonts-20201206-2.fc34.noarch $ fc-list 'Noto Sans Coptic' family file lang /usr/share/fonts/google-noto/NotoSansCoptic-Regular.ttf: Noto Sans Coptic:lang= Nothing behind “lang=” And there is no “cop.orth” file here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/tree/main/fc-lang So “maybe” this has something to do with fontconfig, I am not sure.

Video showing how to reproduce the Gnome Software “Unable to find the Coptic ...” error
This video shows how the Gnome Software error message
“Unable to to find the Coptic ...”
can be easily reproduced using emoji-picker.
Just open the “No, Number, Other” Unicode category in emoji-picker.
This continues to happen **even if**
google-noto-sans-coptic-fonts-20201206-2.fc34.noarch
is already installed!
Maybe it is because we removed the font lang metadata from fonts packages and we don't have a langpacks for Coptic... hmmm What's the locale for Coptic? If there are any resources or pointer to determine the minimal glyph covarage for Coptic, that would also helps. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.

Created attachment 1819530 [details] Gnome Software unable to find Coptic fonts Using Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso in qemu. I played with emoji picker and Gnome popped up something requesting more fonts. I clicked and then Gnome Software said: “Unable to find the Coptic, Persian, Old (ca. 600-400 B.C.), Ugaritic you were searching for. Please see _the documentation_ for more information.” See attached screenshot.
