Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 dev and upgrading fontconfig-config to version
2.12.6-0ubuntu1 changed its dependencies from "fonts-dejavu-core | ttf-
bitstream-vera | fonts-freefont-ttf | gsfonts-x11, ucf (>= 0.29)" to
"ucf (>= 0.29), fonts-dejavu-core | ttf-bitstream-vera | fonts-
liberation | fonts-freefont" which caused at default fonts-dejavu-core
being additionally installed.
My system has also ttf-mscorefonts-installer installed which utilizes
custom rules to emulate the sharp looking fonts behavior Windows systems
had. But installing fonts-dejavu-core alone causes this sharp look to
get aliased again in the most places. A workaround for fontconfig-config
is to install fonts-liberation as it seems to not break the sharp look.
I can't tell exactly which of the 3 possible packages is the main cause for
this issue:
- Is that the installation of fonts-dejavu-core alone breaks the look a bug?
- Needs ttf-mscorefonts-installer an update to take over priority or such?
- Or is it possible that fontconfig-config could also technically support
ttf-mscorefonts-installer as additional fonts dependency choice?
