Bug ID: 1931547 Summary: Cantarell Regular rendering issues in Gnome Shell Product: Fedora Version: 33 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: abattis-cantarell-fonts Severity: low Assignee: klember@redhat.com Reporter: gregswift@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: cosimo.cecchi@gmail.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, ian@ianweller.org, klember@redhat.com, me@fale.io, tagoh@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Created attachment 1758636 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1758636&action=edit broken font lock screen clock
Description of problem: I've got about 7 machines running fedora 33, to the same patch level. 4 of them were showing poorly rendered fonts/wrong characters in various parts of the gnome-shell ui. Primarily: lock screen time, unlock password entry field, and the top bar calendar view. See attached screenshots. For one of the machines it stopped doing it after a week or 2. The other machines kept doing it until I changed the `Interface Text` font using TweakTool, the default is Cantarell Regular, and any other font seems to be fine, including other Cantarell fonts.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The problem started after update on 2/1 which included abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.301-1.fc33.noarch
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log:2021-02-01T13:07:46-0600 SUBDEBUG Upgrade: abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.301-1.fc33.noarch /var/log/dnf.rpm.log:2021-02-01T13:10:00-0600 SUBDEBUG Upgraded: abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.201-4.fc33.noarch
How reproducible: On the 3 remaining machines with the issue if I set the font back to Cantarell Regular the problem returns. But I haven't been able to make it happen on other machines that arent experiencing the issue.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Fedora 33 with Gnome, using defaults
Actual results: You will either experience the problem or you won't.
Expected results: Fonts to be rendered properly.

--- Comment #4 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- Did this only happen after upgrading? or still persist even after rebooting? If everything looks fine after rebooting, that is a known issue and may appears when fonts is drastically changed.

--- Comment #5 from Greg Swift gregswift@gmail.com --- It was after upgrading. I saw it multiple times myself after rebooting, even without updates.
since changing the font away haven't run into this again, which is expected.

--- Comment #6 from Ben Cotton bcotton@redhat.com --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '33'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
