Description Akira TAGOH 2024-03-04 08:51:04 UTC

google-noto-sans-hebrew-vf-fonts is supposed to be a default monospace font for Hebrew though, liberation-mono-fonts is picked up as the default monospace font when it is installed.

This happens because liberation use 59 as the priority number although google-noto-sans-hebrew-vf-fonts use 66.

The priority number needs to be updated.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2024-03-08 10:03:33 UTC

We have two options to address this:

1) Add the generic alias rule for monospace in google-noto-sans-hebrew-vf-fonts. Though Noto Sans Hebrew is a sans-serif font.

2) Accept liberation-mono-fonts as a default monospace font for Hebrew

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2025-03-03 07:20:27 UTC

need some feedback about the above question. postponing to the future release so far. moving to 42.

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2025-07-11 09:57:47 UTC

This seems not happens now:

$ rpm -q liberation-mono-fonts google-noto-sans-hebrew-vf-fonts fontconfig
liberation-mono-fonts-2.1.5-13.fc42.noarch
google-noto-sans-hebrew-vf-fonts-20250701-1.fc43.noarch
fontconfig-2.17.0-2.fc43.x86_64
$ fc-match monospace:lang=he                 
NotoSansHebrew[wght].ttf: "Noto Sans Hebrew" "Light"
