Bug ID: 2009807 Summary: Change default Amharic font from Abyssinica SIL to Noto Serif Ethiopic Product: Fedora Version: 35 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Fonts Severity: medium Assignee: i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Reporter: beta-stage@tutanota.com QA Contact: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Abyssinica SIL is an old font. It's barely legible and breaks in most apps. Noto Serif Ethiopic, on the other hand, is a modern and well designed font.
Noto Serif Ethiopic is distributed with Open Font License, so packaging it won't be a problem.

How reproducible: always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pretty much using the the Amharic language anywhere on Fedora

I think that's fine. Monospace isn't commonly used in my language anyways.

Also Sans vs Serif?
I've thought about it, and I think Sans is better. After using it for a while, it seems cleaner and more readable.

--- Comment #14 from carnage beta-stage@tutanota.com --- Something I noticed when testing the 36 beta which I didnt test previously was flatpak apps. They dont seem to respect this new change.

--- Comment #15 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- What app did you try?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2009807
--- Comment #16 from carnage beta-stage@tutanota.com --- Most flatpak apps I have
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2009807
--- Comment #17 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- Hm, that sounds like a flatpak runtime issue or flatpak app. flatpak is sharing fonts files on host but apparently there are no configuration provided by fonts packages which is important to decide the priority and then default fonts. The available font configuration files at flatpak app is something from packages only which flatpak runtime has.
Steps to confirm this: 1. run flatpak app: flatpak run org.gnome.gedit 2. enter the sandbox: flatpak enter org.gnome.gedit sh 3. try to run fc-match there: fc-match sans-serif:lang=am 4. also try to see if Noto Sans Ethiopic is available: fc-match "Noto Sans Ethiopic"
At step 3, fc-match returns FreeSerif which is available on flatpak app. At step 4, fc-match returns Noto Sans Ethiopic as requested which is available on host.

--- Comment #18 from carnage beta-stage@tutanota.com --- It seems like an issue on my end. Sorry :) Works as expected when I tried it in a VM.
