[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 1160935] Webpages that request Helvetica get Nimbus Sans, which has terrible kerning

--- Comment #6 from Akira TAGOH <tagoh(a)redhat.com> ---
Hmm, that's why I don't like maintaining the centralized font aliases in
fontconfig and why we set it up in each fonts packages.
The sort of this issue may depends on what the reporter really want. it could
be a font bug which should be fixed in a font, in this case, urw-fonts. or it
could be a preference issue which can be fixed in installing/uninstalling the
unnecessary font packages with the separate config files. making the order of
the fonts to satisfy all of users' requirements is quite difficult. the default
config in fontconfig is just adding fonts as a last resort. it's not enforcing
anything. if we have a good candidate for those fonts as a package, it should
do that there. otherwise it will just be used. nobody writes a config as a
Helvetica alternative in their own config in this case. that's it.

pango have in spec:
%post
/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-%{__isa_bits} --update-cache || :
/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-64 requires libXft.so.2 for running, therefore
pango should have
Requires(post): libXft
or similar.

pango-1.36.8-1.fc22.x86_64
How reproducible:
50 %chance to reproduce

--releasever rawhide install @buildsys-build --setopt=tsflags=nocontexts
--nogpgcheck

If we prefer Nimbus Sans L for Helvetica alternatives, it should be fixed in
urw-fonts with adding the above config to the package. or adding the following
to xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi package:
<fontconfig>
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<glob>/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/*.gz</glob>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
if those fonts are totally useless for applications using fontconfig.
Either way, I expect to see the fix in the package other than fontconfig
because it avoids frequent updates of fontconfig for non-binary updates and
unnecessary updates for those who don't install the problematic font packages.
I'm not sure how much rejecting X11 fonts affects other applications.
reassigning to urw-fonts at this point.
