Description Neil Roberts 2020-12-28 11:40:39 UTC
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.

I stumbled across bug 1889049, so I guess this is a duplicate that won’t be fixed :/
