Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
Shortly after todays upgrade of fontconfig 2.4.1-2 -> 2.4.2-1, after
restarting my browser, the fonts looked ugly. I'm using a Thinkpad
laptop which has a RGB LCD panel.
I think this is due to the default font for "Sans" now returning
DejaVu Sans with a "Condensed" flavor.
bee% fc-match "Sans"
DejaVu-Sans-Condensed.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Condensed"
As a workaround, I moved the condensed ttf font out of the way:
mv /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf \
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf.disabled
and dpkg-reconfigured ttf-dejavu and fontconfig. Now I get correctly
looking fonts again:
bee% fc-match "Sans"
DejaVu-Sans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
Since I see no mention of this change in the fontconfig changelog, I
suppose this is bug; but please reassign to ttf-dejavu if needed.
Bye,
