Installing by default doesn't matter and it doesn't help for upgrading. otherwise we don't need any dependencies in GNOME packages and so on in that sense. this is to ensure the sane packaging but ain't talking about something after the packages is installed here. this is the right way under the package management system to help out the insane thing. This is a suggestion to settle though. > > 2. stop to depend on any other fonts in your rule and just leave it to other > > rules. > > I said it already, it is NOT dependency! it is fallback! Again, appearing WenQuanYi Bitmap Song for outside 10~16px is the expected behaviour for current logic right. however it's not the expected behaviour for users. I'm saying that and that logic is wrong then. Even though you have taken responsibility for fallback, causing not working due to no fallback fonts available is a bug and not desirable. it's nearly equivalent to nothing. then why don't you just leave that responsibility to others or just take the above suggestion 1? > By your logic, all of these should be removed, as they are dependent > to the the missing font package. I meant to that. if something doesn't work as expected after getting rid of them then, we should have the certain thing in fontconfig or somewhere to support fallback with something rather than describing the font name not owned by the package. > Indeed, if you want to make a synthetic font with your preferred fonts, you > HAVE TO explicitly mention other font's name. That is exactly what > wqy-bitmap-fonts is. I have already demonstrated to apply WenQuanYi Bitmap Song for the desired size only rather than fallback to others for outside though. you can use the preferred fonts for other sizes without modifying fontconfig rules at all. > By the way, you should really blaming changing font names, rather than blaming > citing font names in config files.

For instance, would you blame someone who decided to change Chinese font to new one say because it has better quality than current font? that makes no sense. that situation is most likely to happen when we have any chance. > > Your suggestion at comment #58 is just a workaround but not a solution. and > > you > > might see the same issue in the future.

Heh, I just like the sane solution for long term but not ugly hack or so. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
