Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.11.0-6.4
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
Usertags: origin-kali
For many months now, I have experienced myself and I have received dozens
of reports (on the Kali side) of users having squares instead of the
expected characters in their GNOME setup. The work-around was to run "apt
--reinstall install fonts-cantarell" and I suspected that it was related
to some bad update of the font-config cache, and this has been now
confirmed:
https://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2016/06/fixing-firefox-fonts.html
The above page shows an invocation of "fc-list" returning many entries
for files such as
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/cantarell/Cantarell-Regular.otf.dpkg-tmp
Those files exist only during unpack of a package and they should not
be grabbed.
So please make sure that the fontconfig cache update ignores any
.dpkg-tmp file...
Still I wonder how this is even possible as when the fontconfig trigger
runs, the packages are fully unpacked and those files should have been
already insalled under their final name. Maybe GNOME has some inotify
thing in place to update the cache dynamically? In any case, ignoring
those files at the fontconfig level should fix this issue I believe.
