Created attachment 1408414 [details] Example 1 Description of problem: Since abattis-cantarell-fonts 0.100 in 28 and rawhide, cyrillic fonts are missing, so DejaVu Sans is used instead.
Created attachment 1408415 [details] Example 2
Created attachment 1408416 [details] Example 3 The worst problem isn't that the font is different, but that cyrillic and latin use different fonts.
Could you file this upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cantarell-fonts please? We don't have anyone in the Fedora team working on Cantarell.
The workaround suggested by upsteam is to use Noto Sans UI as fallback font.
I filed https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/36 for using Noto Sans UI as fallback.
Created attachment 1408629 [details] fallback to noto sans ui for cyrillic languages Attached config will fall back to Noto Sans UI when Cantarell was requested. What's your locale? if it's missing in config, this won't work.
ru_RU.UTF-8, but there's also Serbian, and e.g. Kazakh, Bashkir, Tatar etc. Also AFAIK Greek is also missing. From wikipedia: Slavic languages: Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbo-Croatian (for Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin), Ukrainian Non-Slavic languages: Abkhaz, Aleut (now mostly in church texts), Bashkir, Chuvash, Erzya, Kazakh (to be replaced by Latin script by 2025[18]), Kildin Sami, Komi, Kyrgyz, Mari, Moksha, Mongolian, Ossetic, Romani (some dialects), Sakha/Yakut, Tajik, Tatar, Tlingit (now only in church texts), Tuvan, Udmurt, Yuit (Siberian Yupik), and Yupik (in Alaska). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script
I think it's easier to prepend cantarell to the default font list for supported languages?
Please don't start inventing one of a kind fontconfig syntaxes Apply the templates in fontpackages-devel, they've served us well for a decade without any spectacular failure You want to substitute fonts? There is a substitution template. Read its doc and apply it It will tell the substitution rule needs to go in the noto font package because 1. it's useless without the noto font files 2. when there is no cantarell font at all on the system you can the substitution to occur for the rest of the glyphs too Also, it will tell you *not* to play locale restrictions as it's a recipe for more problems later if encoding coverage of the font files changes. If a design is visually compatible it's visually compatible for the whole font, not just parts of it.

Akira, what do you think of Owen's proposal in https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/36#comment-499626 ? It certainly seems much simpler than listing out all individual languages where we want to do fallback.

As Owen said it's not tested, you need to check the difference of the language coverage because that way relies on it to fall back. if Cantarell is just missing all of languages which uses Cyrillic glyphs, that's okay. otherwise the unexpected languages will also be fell back to Noto.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. 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.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
