Package: fonts-dejavu-core Version: 2.37-2 Severity: normal Since the upgrade to 2.37-2, box drawing and underline characters no longer work in Emacs with my configuration. I could check that this is because Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (which is very incomplete) is used as the primary font instead of DejaVu Sans Mono: Since I'm currently using generic names, I suppose that this is due to
* Apply upstream commit to remove redundant generic name assignment and aliasing from fontconfig configuration. Thanks Jan Niklas Hasse, Closes: #753401. Before the upgrade: cventin% fc-match Mono DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" cventin% fc-match Monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" After the upgrade: zira% fc-match Mono VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman" zira% fc-match Monospace VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman" I've reported the following bug against fontconfig-config concerning this poor choice: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961386 I think that the issue should have first been fixed there before changing fonts-dejavu. Anyway, since the change affects user config that uses generic names, it should be announced in NEWS.Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
