Description of problem: First of all, isn´t DejaVu supposed to be the standard font since Fedora Core 6? Because when I installed Fefora 7 Test 4 it wasn´t. Unfortunately some of the font styles of DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Serif are impossible to use in Gnome Font Preferences: Condensed Bold Oblique Condensed Oblique Condensed Bold ExtraLight (DejaVu Sans) Bold Bold Oblique Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Tried it on one machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to System > Preferences > Look and Feel > "Font" in Gnome. 2. Try to change the font to one of those listed above. Actual results: DejaVu Sans Condensed is selected instead. Expected results: The DejaVu font style you selected should be activated. Additional info: -
Ooh ok. It seems "dejavu-fonts" wasn´t installed by default, only "dejavu-lgc-fonts". I installed dejavu-fonts and now all the fonts work. So the bugs is just that the list shows fonts that aren´t installed. And also DejaVu wasn´t set up as default for me.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
In order to see if this bug is still reproducible I would have to make a clean install of Fedora 8 or Fedora 9 beta. I don´t have any plans to do that within 30 days so anyone is welcome to help out and see if they can reproduce this or not.
dejavu-lgc-fonts is dead in rawhide. Moving this bug to F8
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. 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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. 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 prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
