Dear mentors,
Please review and sponsor the maintenance update for fonts-nerd-symbols.

* Package name: fonts-nerd-symbols
Version: 3.4.0+dfsg1-2
Upstream: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

* Vcs: https://salsa.debian.org/klondikemarlen/fonts-nerd-symbols
Branch: debian/latest
* Section: fonts
The source builds fonts-nerd-symbols, an architecture-independent package.

This revision fixes the reported Hack/UnDotum icon fallback regression:
https://bugs.debian.org/1149204
The four reported codepoints (U+F120, U+F07B, U+F09B, U+F17C) selected
UnDotum despite Font Awesome being installed. The update recommends
compatible legacy companion fonts and adapts the existing aliases to put
icon families after the selected named text family with inherited binding.
Generic monospace preferences remain weak so icon fonts cannot replace
normal text or Qt primary fonts. Incompatible/remapped icon-set limits
are documented rather than claiming Unicode remapping through Fontconfig.
Changes in debian/changelog:
fonts-nerd-symbols (3.4.0+dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Recommend compatible Font Awesome and Material Design companion fonts.
* Keep named text families first and inherit their binding for icon
fallbacks, ahead of unrelated private-use glyphs. (Closes: #1149204)
* Preserve generic monospace preferences and add Fontconfig/Qt regression
checks for installed-package fallback behavior.
Verification:
- Fresh Debian unstable sbuild: successful; lintian: successful.
- Source and binary builds, installed-package autopkgtest, and ten
Fontconfig/actual offscreen Qt regression scenarios pass.
- Published binary downloaded, checksums/signatures verified, installed,
purged, and reinstalled in a fresh Debian runtime; all scenarios pass.
- The original archive orig tarball is unchanged.
- Published Mentors source signature and tarballs were verified against
the signed release assets.
Review, QA, and inherited Mentors metadata advisory dispositions:
https://github.com/klondikemarlen/fonts-nerd-symbols/pull/30
Released binary and signed source artifacts:
https://github.com/klondikemarlen/fonts-nerd-symbols/releases/tag/v3.4.0%2Bdfsg1-2
The Salsa and GitHub debian/latest branches both contain merge 51cf9e1.
Official Debian archive acceptance and BTS closure are not yet claimed.

Marlen Brunner
