Description Neal Gompa 2022-08-03 21:07:00 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2016794 +++

Description of problem:
The grave accent ` is inappropriately ligatured when using Red Hat Mono -- it becomes attached to the following character in gVim, gEdit, Firefox and possibly other applications. This makes editing TeX difficult in this font.

This behavior is not observed with Source Code Pro, or in Gnome Terminal.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-mono-fonts-4.0.1-3.el9

Additional info:

This bug is fixed in version 4.0.3, just released:  https://github.com/RedHatOfficial/RedHatFont/releases/tag/4.0.3

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2022-08-10 05:55:06 UTC

(I think the original bug report was confusing/badly worded:
IIUC this is about the rendering of the backtick (open quote) symbol,
not about grave accent, right?)

Comment 3 Troy Dawson 2022-08-10 13:20:48 UTC

That does make more sense.
Now that it's worded that way, I know what you are talking about because I've seen it.
I'm glad that I now know it is a bug because I was just about ready to fix someones documentation.

(Note: none of that is sarcasm.  I really was about to fix someones documentation because of this.)

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2022-08-18 07:49:16 UTC

Current packages has some problems.

1. containing duplicate fonts
2. providing non-variable and variable fonts in one place. this is also functionally duplicate. we should have separate packages for them.
3. variable fonts is apparently buggy. it causes a crash on gnome-terminal say. although it can be worked around by fontconfig config.

I file a separate bug for that.
