Public bug reported: As shown in the attached screenshot, the fantasque sans mono font displays hex codes in boxes rather than actual characters. In the photo, I'm using gedit. The first line of text says "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
To produce this bug, I installed the font from the package repository and tried to use the font on my system. In addition to gedit, the problem occurs in Gnome Tweaks or anywhere else I try to look at the font. I have a dual boot KDE and GNOME Kubuntu system, but I'm running in GNOME only. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but got the same issue. The issue affects all the fonts in the package, but none of the other fonts on my system. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release: 20.04 $ apt-cache policy fonts-fantasque-sans fonts-fantasque-sans: Installed: 1.7.2~alpha.3~dfsg-2 Candidate: 1.7.2~alpha.3~dfsg-2 Version table: *** 1.7.2~alpha.3~dfsg-2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: fonts-fantasque-sans (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "screen shot of what the problem looks like." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941615/+attachment/5520537/+files/Screenshot_20210825_112614.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941615 Title: fonts-fantasque-sans font displays numeric codes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-fantasque-sans/+bug/1941615/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
