Description Jens Petersen 2012-10-23 10:24:20 UTC

Description of problem:
I would like to suggest lowering the fontconfig priority
of gnu-free-fonts from 67 to 69.  Since it is a generic Unicode
fallback font that would seem safer to avoid any potential conflicts
with other specific native fonts.

This is in the context of bug 868547 where we are trying now
to install the GNU Free fonts as a default fallback font
to provide better default glyph coverage for Fedora.

I haven't seen any problems yet, but to be extra safe it
it seemed recommended to lower the priority to 69
to avoid the Free fonts from potentially overriding other
specific fonts.  See the comments in bug 868547 for
more details.
