Description Pravin Satpute 2014-10-07 12:17:27 UTC
Description of problem:
We have complete Unicode Basic multilingual support by packaging google-noto-fonts. When i type u+1728 (ᜨ) in gedit or gnome-terminal, i get prompt me for searching font supporting this character. But when i search it shows me no font package available eventhough we have google-noto-sans-hanunno-fonts package available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-1.0.0-2.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gedit
2. type U+1728 character either by ibus-rawcode or contrl_shift_u 
3.

Actual results:
It says not fonts available to support this character. 

Expected results:
google-noto-sans-hanunno-fonts should be shown in PackageKit search list.

Additional info:
While testing i found it even does not seach for U+10A0E

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2015-06-09 01:01:03 UTC
I believe it's an issue with the font package itself. It should have Provides: font(:lang=hnn) to make this work; for some reason it doesn't have that.

Compare the provides for these two packages:

$ repoquery -q --provides google-noto-sans-hanunoo-fonts.noarch
config(google-noto-sans-hanunoo-fonts) = 20150417-1.fc22
font(notosanshanunoo)
google-noto-sans-hanunoo-fonts = 20150417-1.fc22

$ repoquery -q --provides google-noto-sans-tamil-fonts.noarch
config(google-noto-sans-tamil-fonts) = 20150417-1.fc22
font(:lang=ta)
font(notosanstamil)
google-noto-sans-tamil-fonts = 20150417-1.fc22

Comment 4 Peng Wu 2015-06-09 03:17:49 UTC
Does fontconfig support fc-lang/hnn.orth?

Comment 5 Pravin Satpute 2015-06-09 03:42:46 UTC
hnn.orth is not supported yet.

Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2015-06-09 06:27:56 UTC
right. Provides: font(:lang=xxx) comes from the result of fc-query by filter-langcover in fontpackages at the build time and fontconfig doesn't support hnn.orth. feel free to file an RFE for that to fontconfig.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 12:11:58 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
