Description of problem: Aesthetically the Noto fonts are way better than Lohit-Kannada. Change the default system font for Kannada to Noto. Actual results: The default fonts of the current fedora releases are Lohit-Kannada Expected results: Noto should be made the default font. Additional info: To see a comparison between these two fonts, please follow below steps: 1.Make sure that you have Noto font 2.Open the UTRRS page : http://utrrs-testing.rhcloud.com/language/kn 3.Enter "Noto Sans Kannada" and click on Change Font button. 4.Compare the References (Lohit-Kannada) with those of rendered Characters (Noto Sans) for Code points, GPOS and GSUB.
Agree with Shankar on this.
Created attachment 1097520 [details] Lohit-kannada_and_Noto Here is a comparison between two fonts.
I support this change of font to Noto Sans Kannada from Lohit Kannada.
I don't think that the component of this bug should be font-manager. font-manager is a user program to manage installed fonts for the user in the system. It does not define that default system fonts that are shipped with Fedora.
Ok. I was not aware of the relevant packages for this bug. If you know which component decides the default packages for a locale, please change it. Thanks in advance.
Here, by default packages I meant default font packages.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24.

If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
