Description Akira TAGOH 2010-03-30 03:40:14 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:
 65-lklug.conf

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2010-04-21 12:22:01 UTC

Testing result:
# rpm -q lklug-fonts
lklug-fonts-0.6-4.20090803cvs.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=si
lklug.ttf: "LKLUG" "Regular"
# fc-match monospace:lang=si-lk
lklug.ttf: "LKLUG" "Regular"
# fc-match serif:lang=en
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"
# fc-match serif:lang=en-us
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"
# fc-match serif:lang=si
lklug.ttf: "LKLUG" "Regular"
# fc-match serif:lang=si-lk
lklug.ttf: "LKLUG" "Regular"

Even though no monospaced fonts nor serif fonts in lklug-fonts (nor probably in Fedora? dunno I don't have them installed at least because it's not in comps), this would be good side-effect fontconfig tries to pick up the better font for the language. however please note that this kind of expectation isn't a good idea because it could be messed up when any existing fonts started to support Sinhala.

# fc-match sans:lang=en
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
# fc-match sans:lang=en-us
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
# fc-match sans:lang=si
lklug.ttf: "LKLUG" "Regular"
# fc-match sans:lang=si-lk
lklug.ttf: "LKLUG" "Regular"

That looks good.

# for i in $(ls /usr/share/locale|grep -v si); do fc-match sans:lang=$i|grep LKLUG; [ $? = 0 ] && echo $i; done
#

So the updated package works as expected.
