Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.12.3-0.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi there,
currently, the list of alternative fonts that the fontconfig-config
package depends on is currently rather random and unsorted. In my
understanding, fontconfig needs a complete set of serif, sans-serif
and monospaced fonts available in regular and bold flavors.
There are quite some packages in Debian containing font families that
fulfill these requirements. I have extended and ordered the list with
Debian packages based on the aliasing rules in fontconfig's own
30-metric-aliases.conf. Furthermore, I have corrected the dependency
on the non-existant fonts-freefont package.
Cheers,
- Fabian
