Description Adam Williamson (Fedora) 2026-11-04 17:00:43 UTC
We have a 'default font check' test in openQA which checks default fonts are as expected. On Rawhide it currently fails on Arabic and Japanese installs. In both cases the issue is in the expected system-ui font: the result shows -Adwaita Sans, +Cantarell (not sure if that means it's meant to be Adwaita Sans but is Cantarell, or the other way around).

Reporting against freetype as I know that'll get it assigned to the right person.

See e.g. https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/5613403#step/check_default_fonts/30 and https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/5613407#step/check_default_fonts/32 .

Hi, this seems more like a result produced by fontconfig. I'm reassigning this bug there.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson (Fedora) 2026-11-05 15:56:17 UTC
Agh, crap, you're right, I meant 'fontconfig' when I wrote/used 'freetype'. D'oh. :) Thanks!

Well, strictly speaking, it isn't something in fontconfig itself. but fontconfig config issue in some font packages.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2026-11-10 07:51:56 UTC
I submitted two PRs for this:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/adwaita-fonts/pull-request/2
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/abattis-cantarell-fonts/pull-request/6

another one for google-noto-fonts may be needed.
