Description of problem: All of detailed information is available on my post at the fonts list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fonts/2010-March/001117.html binding="same" in the fontconfig config file prevents to apply the rule for the specific language only properly. As a result, fonts is used for non-targetted languages and it may gives different look and feel in some cases. I'd propose to get rid of binding="same" from: 66-lohit-punjabi.conf
fixed in lohit-punjabi-fonts-2.4.4-1 for fc13 as well in devel
just for the note in the future, here is the testing result as I usually did for other fonts packages in this issue: # rpm -qa lohit-punjabi-fonts lohit-punjabi-fonts-2.4.4-1.fc13.noarch # fc-match monospace:lang=en DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" # fc-match monospace:lang=en-us DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" # fc-match monospace:lang=pa Lohit-Punjabi.ttf: "Lohit Punjabi" "Regular" # fc-match monospace:lang=pa-in Lohit-Punjabi.ttf: "Lohit Punjabi" "Regular" # fc-match monospace:lang=pa-pk DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" # fc-match serif:lang=en DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book" # fc-match serif:lang=en-us DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book" # fc-match serif:lang=pa Lohit-Punjabi.ttf: "Lohit Punjabi" "Regular" # fc-match serif:lang=pa-in Lohit-Punjabi.ttf: "Lohit Punjabi" "Regular" # fc-match serif:lang=pa-pk DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book" No explicit rules for monospace and serif in lohit-punjabi-fonts. # fc-match sans:lang=en DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" # fc-match sans:lang=en-us DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" # fc-match sans:lang=pa Lohit-Punjabi.ttf: "Lohit Punjabi" "Regular" # fc-match sans:lang=pa-in Lohit-Punjabi.ttf: "Lohit Punjabi" "Regular" # fc-match sans:lang=pa-pk DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" That looks good. getting different result for pa-pk is expected behaviour since fontconfig has different orth file for pa-pk. # for i in $(ls /usr/share/locale|grep -v -E "^(pa)$"); do fc-match sans:lang=$i|grep -E "^(Lohit Punjabi)$"; [ $? = 0 ] && echo $i; done
