Re: F36 Change: Default To Noto Fonts (System-Wide Change proposal)

2023-06-29 Thread Ali Alawami
Update: Apparently, this problem doesn't exist on new install/liveusb because 
dejavu is not installed so I found out that on my system I have VLC which has a 
dependency on dejavu..

Re: F36 Change: Default To Noto Fonts (System-Wide Change proposal)

2023-06-29 Thread Ali Alawami
Thanks everyone for this work.

I would like to point to a problem with the current config regarding Arabic 
font.
For Arabic text, The dejavu sans is still being displayed in many webpages in 
firefox instead of the noto sans.
However, when switching the system language to arabic, firefox correctly 
displays noto sans arabic which is huge improvment.
But if the system/gnome language is set to english, dejavu is frequently used 
to display some arabic texts in firefox

The problem with dejavu sans for Arabic is being incredibly ugly and borderline 
unreadable when bolded.

For example:
-at fedoraproject.org/ar most text exhibit this problem, firefox is using 
dejavu to render arabic instead of noto sans when the system/gnome language is 
english
-Youtube video titles
-Most text at podcast.google.com
-Wikipedia.org DOESN'T seem to suffer from this problem, It displays noto sans 
arabic regardless whether the system language is Arabic or English. (TLDR: this 
is the desired behavior)

Picture example of the problem: where the first pic shows FFx rendering the 
text using noto, the second pic it's using dejavu for arabic.

Is this solvable?
