Description Akira TAGOH 2012-03-14 08:57:32 UTC

Description of problem:
Since there seems some buggy fonts, that may be a good idea to add an option to stop classifying the fonts in sans-serif, serif, monospace and so on. this enhancements may helps for Bug#803192 say to add it for the expected alias.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fonts-tweak-tool-0.0.3-1.fc17.noarch

Comment 1 Ani Peter 2012-03-14 09:30:26 UTC

Tested fonts-tweak-tool for Malayalam. My system had smc-meera-fonts (sans), I installed a serif font called smc-anjalioldlipi-fonts-4.4-7.fc17 and selected the same in the application. Applied, but didnt have any effect on the system, instead the same smc-meera-fonts itself is being used without any changes.

Thanks
Ani

In between i will fix issues for lohit fonts at least.

Dunno can we assume that end-user is knowledgeable regarding fonts-style and will select appropriate fonts for his locale for particular style.

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2012-03-14 11:03:09 UTC

Ani, I'm not sure what you did, selecting AnjaliOldLipi for serif works for me:

$ fc-match serif:lang=ml
AnjaliOldLipi.ttf: "AnjaliOldLipi" "Regular"
$ fc-match serif:lang=ml-in
AnjaliOldLipi.ttf: "AnjaliOldLipi" "Regular"

FWIW you should file a separate bug for Meera like Bug#803192, because it appears in serif, but no sans-serif.

Ah, one more result to validate the above:
$ rm ~/.fonts.conf.d/000-fontstweak-ezfc.conf
$ fc-match serif:lang=ml   
Meera.ttf: "Meera" "Regular"
$ fc-match serif:lang=ml-in
Meera.ttf: "Meera" "Regular"

Tagoh,

I agree with the above and I am also getting the above result for fc-match. But please let me know where is this change getting applied. Currently, I have selected Anjali under serif, but cant find this change getting applied anywhere. Please advise.

Thanks
Ani

Comment 7 Akira TAGOH 2012-03-15 08:13:14 UTC

You can find it out from even the above comment...
Don't you have ~/.fonts.conf.d/000-fontstweak-ezfc.conf?

Comment 8 Pravin Satpute 2012-03-15 08:24:24 UTC

Problem is not with fonts-tweak-tool. Problem is to find application which using systems default serif font.

So Ani can just open that application and see changed serif fonts. I am not able to find such application, i believe firefox uses serif but dunno it is not reflecting there.

But definitely fonts-tweak-tool doing its job perfectly :)

Comment 9 Akira TAGOH 2012-08-13 07:46:26 UTC
