Description Aoife Moloney 2025-07-03 09:54:19 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: Set Default Monospace Fallback Font
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SetDefaultMonospaceFallbackFont

Currently monospace fonts are implicitly substituted with sans-serif fonts by default configuration file in fontconfig if missing. However, this is unpredictable behavior and it just happened to work. this behavior might be changed once one install other font packages.
This Change aims to make it predictable and assign a tentative default monospace font for languages which is missing them.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.

self-testing result is here:

$ fontquery-diff --loose-comparison 42 rawhide

  Persian(fa)                Vazirmatn                  Noto Naskh Arabic          Vazirmatn

+ Romanian(ro)               Noto Sans                  Noto Serif                 Noto Sans Mono       
     

This is because f42 anaconda missed Romanian translation after updating. So the result looks good and expected thing.
