Description Jens Petersen 2022-01-25 13:11:47 UTC

Description of problem:
Matthias Clasen pointed out that abattis-cantarell-fonts currently
includes both variable and non-variable fonts.
This duplication makes it harder for pango to choose the right font for example.
We should split the binary package into two and only install the VF one by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.301-6

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ql abattis-cantarell-fonts

Actual results:
Contains both fixed and variable fonts 

Expected results:
Probably Cantarell-VF.otf should be moved to abattis-cantarell-vf-fonts subpackage
and made the default.

That makes sense. I'll take care of that.

I'm not 100% sure it's because of this, but, the kerning on Cantarell sure seems to have gotten a *lot* worse in Rawhide. Attaching some screenshots.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2022-02-05 07:35:45 UTC

Hmm, no, it's not this, the timeframe doesn't match. It went bad between 20220120.n.1 and 20220123.n.0. I'll try and figure out the cause and file a different bug.

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2022-04-02 12:42:21 UTC

Also unfortunately it seems plymouth still pulls in the non-vf font package.
