Package: fontconfig-config Version: 2.11.0-5 Severity: normal On a fresh install of debian the hacker news website looks wrong, it uses Verdana which should be replaced with a sans serif font, but the browsers render the page with a serif font instead.
The output from 'fc-match Verdana' is: DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" I was able to fix the problem locally by creating a fonts.conf with this rule: <match target="pattern"> <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Verdana</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong"> <string>DejaVu Sans</string> </edit> </match> This was helpful: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712900 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fontconfig-config depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 ii fonts-dejavu-core 2.34-1 ii fonts-liberation 1.07.4-1 ii ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-8 ii ucf 3.0028 fontconfig-config recommends no packages. fontconfig-config suggests no packages. -- debconf information: fontconfig/hinting_type: Native fontconfig/subpixel_rendering: Automatic fontconfig/enable_bitmaps: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
