Description of problem: The blender-fonts package contains droidsans.ttf which seems to be a broken version of the DejaVu Sans font. This gets picked up by other applications on the system in preference to the font installed by the dejavu-sans-fonts package. Notably the character U+015C (Ŝ) is missing the circumflex on top of the S. This shows up for example if you try to type a Tweet in Firefox in Esperanto. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the package blender-fonts 2. Start GEdit 3. Select the font “DejaVu Sans Regular” from the preferences. 4. Paste in the following text “MI ŜATAS ĈAPELOJN”. Actual results: The Ŝ looks like S. Expected results: It should have a circumflex on top.
Oh actually, the file is called “droidsans.ttf” but the font contained within is actually called “DejaVu Sans”. So step 3 should be: 3. Select the font “DejaVu Sans Regular” from the preferences.
