Description Akira TAGOH 2010-03-30 03:39:17 UTC

Description of problem:
All of detailed information is available on my post at the fonts list:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fonts/2010-March/001117.html

binding="same" in the fontconfig config file prevents to apply the rule for the
specific
language only properly. As a result, fonts is used for non-targetted languages
and it may gives different look and feel in some cases.

I'd propose to get rid of binding="same" from:
 69-knm-new-fixed.conf

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2010-04-27 01:45:30 UTC

Testing result without vlgothic-*-fonts, sazanami-*-fonts
# rpm -qa knm-new-fixed-fonts
knm-new-fixed-fonts-1.1-11.fc13.noarch
# fc-match monospace:lang=en
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
# fc-match monospace:lang=en-us
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
# fc-match monospace:lang=ja
wqy-microhei.ttc: "文泉驛微米黑" "Regular"
# fc-match monospace:lang=ja-jp
wqy-microhei.ttc: "文泉驛微米黑" "Regular"

Since DejaVu is used for en, this issue itself seems gone but this font wasn't used for ja because the font is broken, not having enough glyph coverages:

# fc-match -v Fixed | grep lang | grep ja
#

# for i in $(ls /usr/share/locale|grep -v -E "^(ja)$"); do fc-match monospace:lang=$i|grep -E "^(Fixed)$"; [ $? = 0 ] && echo $i; done

So the above testcase isn't reliable enough. need to revisit later once we get it fixed.
