Description Vitaly 2022-12-02 11:43:56 UTC
Description of problem:
RHBZ began to demand Microsoft font "Segoe UI" since last week:

font-family: SFMono-Medium, SF Mono, Segoe UI Mono, "Roboto Mono", "Ubuntu Mono", Menlo, Courier, monospace

> SFMono-Medium, SF Mono

Not packaged and not installed by default on Fedora, so the proprietary Microsoft font Segoe UI Mono is used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bugzilla.redhat.com

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit any RHBZ issue.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Segoe UI Mono is preferred over the FOSS fonts.

Expected results:
FOSS fonts should be placed first.

I'm a little surprised you don't prefer the Red Hat fonts, since those are your branding fonts and this is the Red Hat Bugzilla...

Comment 2 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2022-12-04 22:09:32 UTC
Hi, my understanding of font lists is that it will use the first font in the list that you have installed, therefore if you don't like a font being used you would have to uninstall it.

If anyone wants fonts added to the list, then please specify the name and what order you'd like it in.

If anyone wants the order changed then please specify the new order.

> If anyone wants the order changed then please specify the new order.

Sure:

font-family: "Roboto Mono", "Noto Sans Mono", "Ubuntu Mono", "Segoe UI Mono", Menlo, Courier, monospace

Rather annoying on Fedora etc, since the induced "monospace" font Nimbus Mono PS has ligatures! ;-(

eg libffi

Do we know what the previous preferred fonts list was?:
anything with Segoe UI Mono towards the end should be fine.


Preferring Noto Sans Mono or Liberation Mono, should be fine I think.

This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this bug. Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug.
