With Droid Arabic Kufi font installed? or without?
Yes with
Droid Arabic Kufi font installed, Ubuntu's firefox doesn't prioritize
droid kufi over noto-sans. Also gnome epiphany browser on ubuntu uses noto
sans, while fedora's gnome web browser completely favours kufi droid.
The kufi droid isn't available as a package in ubuntu so I copied the ttf from
fedora and installed it in ubuntu using gnome fonts app. can't reproduce the
issue even after i reinstalled fontconfig in ubuntu to regenerate the
fontcache. Intrestingly I believe ubuntu is using fonts-droid-fallback package
That i beileve (don't know) links droid names to sans fonts as arabic noto
fonts were historically dorid fonts. For example they have noto-kufi-arabic
preinstalled which is exactly the same as droid kufi just different name but
noto-sans-arabic is always prioritized. Not sure if this has any relevance.
This looks more likely a firefox specific problem. let me reassign
this to firefox so far.
Possibly, but isn't that unlikely considering the problem is also replicated
using gnome web on fedora but not on ubuntu's gnome web?
In addition, there are more problems with arabic font config in fedora. For
example, if dejavu fonts are installed on fedora, they automatically become
prioritized over anything noto for arabic.
this happens in both Gnome web and firefox(private windows). Dejavu was the
previously the default for arabic, considering it's very ugly and gets
installed as dep for popular packages like vlc, I think this may warrant
further investigation. Interestingly, Ubuntu still keeps dejavu preinstalled,
but again it never get prioritized over noto sans for arabic like in fedora.
Thanks.
