Re: font tools (was "font longevity questions."). [CLOSED]
I have a few minutes to come back to this. It seems to me that the font tools do not have a minor bug. Rather, they were probably fine years ago when fonts were fewer and generally simpler. Now there are more fonts, and they seem to be more complicated. So either the font tools need major enhancement or new tools are needed. I don't have the knowledge of fonts and fontology(?) to propose a good, nearly complete set of requirements. But a few things do come to mind, such a ability to search, sort, and filter based on: * characteristics such as serif vs. sans serif. vs. regular (like Chinese kaiti) vs. cursive vs. (etc.). * characteristics such as Type-1, Type-2, Open, True, etc. * font name (font family?). * character height and character width. * stroke characteristics. * inclusion of characters from specific languages. Surely readers of this can think of other things. A bug does not make sense for this. I think we've exhausted what can be done with what is currently available.

Re: F36: removing systemd-resolved breaks chrony
Symlinks obviously ends with non-expected SELinux contexts. I think this
is actually a bug in SELinux policy for Network Manager. Because target
file has wrong selinux context.
$ ls -Z /run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf
system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_var_run_t:s0
/run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf
$ ls -Z /etc/resolv.conf
system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 /etc/resolv.conf
Fix that by:
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
touch /etc/resolv.conf
systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
If the file is good old plain text file, it would get permissions as it
always had.

I reached out to one of the xfce4 developers and he pointed me to this thread: https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/issues/114 Short answer is, adding "set enable-bracketed-paste off" to ~/.inputrc fixed the behavior.
