[Documentation-packages] [Bug 1351092] Re: Configuration of the Droid Sans Fallback font
@Lukas: These issues are about to be fixed now. The solution, which is about to be uploaded to both trusty and utopic, does not include a split of the fonts-droid package. Consequently you should uninstall the fonts- droid-cjk and fonts-droid-general packages from my PPA, to not confuse your system. You should also remove the ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/65 -droid-sans-first.conf (from the bug #1334495 discussion) if you haven't already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-android in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351092 Title: Configuration of the Droid Sans Fallback font Status in “fonts-android” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fonts-android” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in “language-selector” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in “fonts-android” package in Debian: New Bug description: [Impact] fontconfig configuration settings, aimed at making the Droid Sans Fallback font be used to render Chinese, fails sometimes in an unpredictable way.

[Documentation-packages] [Bug 1351092] Re: Configuration of the Droid Sans Fallback font
Well, you get DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf first, which is good. That's what I got previously too (see comment #10 of bug #1335482), and it was the intention with https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/0.129.2 However, after having tried various things back and forth, I don't get that result any longer. Instead I get: $ dpkg-query -W fonts-droid language-selector-common fonts-droid 1:4.3-3ubuntu1 language-selector-common0.129.2 $ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match -s sans-serif | head -5 DroidSans.ttf: Droid Sans Regular uming.ttc: AR PL UMing TW Light uming.ttc: AR PL UMing HK Light ukai.ttc: AR PL UKai TW Book DejaVuSans.ttf: DejaVu Sans Book I.e. approximately the same result as Cheng-Chia Tseng reported in comment #9 of bug #1335482. And that's not good, since it leads to AR PL UMing TW being used to render traditional Chinese contents instead of Droid Sans Fallback. So the result of the current configuration is unpredictable, and I'm pretty sure by now that the culprit which causes this unpredictability is 65-droid-sans-fonts.conf. The pending merge proposals should fix that. I also think that the merge proposals will both fix bug #1334495 and make it possible to use fonts-droid in the phone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-android in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351092 Title: Configuration of the Droid Sans Fallback font Status in “fonts-android” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “fonts-android” source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in “language-selector” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: There are currently several open issues related to the use of Droid Sans Fallback for rendering Chinese content: * Two mixed fonts when rendering Chinese in KDE/QT apps with Droid Sans fonts https://launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 * Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese https://launchpad.net/bugs/1335482 * Chinese in Ubuntu Touch should use Heiti style sans serif font https://launchpad.net/bugs/1346766 Unlike e.g. fonts-wqy-microhei, the fonts-droid package installs a bunch of fonts, of which only one is needed for Chinese.

[Original description] There are currently several open issues related to the use of Droid Sans Fallback for rendering Chinese content: * Two mixed fonts when rendering Chinese in KDE/QT apps with Droid Sans fonts https://launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 * Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese https://launchpad.net/bugs/1335482 * Chinese in Ubuntu Touch should use Heiti style sans serif font https://launchpad.net/bugs/1346766 Unlike e.g. fonts-wqy-microhei, the fonts-droid package installs a bunch of fonts, of which only one is needed for Chinese. In an attempt to sort things out I have built the fonts-android source package in my PPA with the DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf font broken out to a separate binary package named fonts-droid-cjk. The PPA also includes a version of language-selector where the changes in version 0.129.2 have been reverted. To test it in Trusty, you should: * Uninstall the fonts-droid package * Install fonts-droid-cjk and language-selector-common from my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/droid-test My own tests indicate that the change to language-selector due to bug #1335482 was a step in the wrong direction.

[Documentation-packages] [Bug 1351092] Re: Configuration of the Droid Sans Fallback font
Yes, it's weird. Right now I suspect that the configuration file 65 -droid-sans-fonts.conf (attached), which the current fonts-droid package installs, is the root cause of this mess. That file seems to imply that if you install fonts-droid, you want Droid Sans fonts be used for all languages, while we are currently only interested in Droid Sans Fallback. In other words, it does not fit well with Ubuntu's default font configuration. I have modified the packages in my PPA a little. From the changelogs: fonts-android (1:4.3-3ubuntu1.1~ppa2) trusty; urgency=medium * Binary package split: - fonts-droid split into fonts-droid-cjk, which installs the Droid Sans Fallback font, and fonts-droid-general, which installs the rest. fonts-droid converted to a transitional dummy package which depends on fonts-droid-cjk. * debian/local/65-droid-sans-fonts.conf: - Recipes affecting Droid Sans Fallback dropped. language-selector (0.129.3~ppa2) trusty; urgency=low * fontconfig/69-language-selector-zh-??.conf: Reverse changes in version 0.129.2. * data/pkg_depends: Replace fonts-droid with fonts-droid-cjk. 65-droid-sans-fonts.conf is installed by the new fonts-droid-general package, but the Droid Sans Fallback related entries have been removed. I think that the packages in my PPA are now in a state which makes them uploadable to the archive. You may ask: Do we really need this package split? Wouldn't it be sufficient to modify (or drop) 65-droid-sans-fonts.conf? Honestly I'm not sure. To test that theory, you can simply install both fonts-droid- cjk and fonts-droid-general from my ppa. When I do so on my 14.04 desktop, it seems to work. At least for the moment... @Lukas: Can you please do the same, and let us know if Chinese is still rendered correctly in the qt apps? OTOH: Is it sensible to have to install all those fonts just to be able to use Droid Sans Fallback for Chinese? And what about the phone? @Iain: Your comments on all this would be appreciated. Apparently something needs to be done, also in trusty. ** Attachment added: 65-droid-sans-fonts.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-android/+bug/1351092/+attachment/4168348/+files/65-droid-sans-fonts.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-android in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351092 Title: Configuration of the Droid Sans Fallback font Status in “fonts-android” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There are currently several open issues related to the use of Droid Sans Fallback for rendering Chinese content: * Two mixed fonts when rendering Chinese in KDE/QT apps with Droid Sans fonts https://launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 * Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese https://launchpad.net/bugs/1335482 * Chinese in Ubuntu Touch should use Heiti style sans serif font https://launchpad.net/bugs/1346766 Unlike e.g. fonts-wqy-microhei, the fonts-droid package installs a bunch of fonts, of which only one is needed for Chinese.
