Thanks, in the meantime you can install google-noto-sans-georgian-vf-fonts and google-noto-serif-georgian-vf-fonts by yourself to workaround this. Or you can install langpacks-ka. @Jens Petersen Thanks, I'll do, but it's planning to restore support for Georgian in CSS text-transform:uppercase (Blink/Gecko) and this will affect most Georgian users. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1761482 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1310251 We already have google-noto-sans-georgian-vf-fonts installed by default in F36+. Maybe something can be done for F35 too.. I guess we could make the comps change there too perhaps, but one problem is that dejavu has higher priority in F35. Right. We can't change the priority for DejaVu in f35. so I don't think we can do anything for f35. the only way to enable it in f35 is to have your own config to add Noto Sans Georgian for sans-serif like:
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Sans Georgian</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
Thank you for the info. I've tested on Fedora 36 and works as expected. If the font will be included in upcoming version, I think this can be considered fixed. Created attachment 1869382 [details]

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '35'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. This bug is already fixed (Fedora 36 and above), so you can close it. Thanks. Thanks for testing. closing. |
Created attachment 1869049 [details] Fedora 35 Missing Georgian characters Description of problem: Georgian uppercase letters are shown as squares How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add Georgian keyboard layout 2.open text editor 3.type Georgian letters and make them uppercase Actual results: all characters are shown as replacement boxes Expected results: readable text Additional info: Georgian uppercase characters were introduced in Unicode 11 (2018), but there's no font supporting these glyphs in Fedora. Google Noto fonts include these characters. Noto Georgian fonts are also used as default in Arch-based distributions and Android. Please add Google-Noto-Georgian, that provide full support for Georgian script.
