Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.13.1-4.2
Severity: normal
Since fonts-dejavu 2.37-2, 60-latin.conf is no longer overridden
by the default fonts-dejavu-core configuration. As a consequence,
Bitstream Vera is preferred to DejaVu, e.g. for monospace:
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family>
<family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family>
<family>Inconsolata</family>
<family>Andale Mono</family>
<family>Courier New</family>
<family>Cumberland AMT</family>
<family>Luxi Mono</family>
<family>Nimbus Mono L</family>
<family>Nimbus Mono</family>
<family>Nimbus Mono PS</family>
<family>Courier</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
This is an issue since Bitstream Vera is very incomplete, at least
compared to DejaVu.
In particular, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono does not have box drawing
characters and this breaks box drawing in Emacs when one uses a
generic font name (thus hoping to get the best font).
