Package: fontconfig Version: 2.3.2-1 Severity: important
Please use DejaVu fonts (package ttf-dejavu) as default and preferred font. Defaulting to Bitstream Vera is not working for central european nations. DejaVu is derived from Bitstream Vera, having added important missing characters. It is probably the best font out there. DejaVu homepage: http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/ Problem: DejaVu fonts are not even listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, and they should be on the first line, so apps asking for 'sans', 'serif' or 'mono' will get DejaVu fonts by default. Moreover, just editing local.conf didnt work for me. After reading http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/fontconfig/2003-April/000229.html i created local.conf: =local.conf=================================================== <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Sans</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Serif</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family> </prefer> </alias> =/local.conf==================================================== the result of defoma-reconfigure was making me angry a lot: ...... Updating category cid.. Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 7: junk after document element Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 7: junk after document element Updating font configuration of gs... ...... 'Error' was on the line containing second '<alias>'. No junk there... Few tests revealed local.conf can have only one alias tag inside. why? This problem (bug?) maybe should be in separate bug report, but i am using it as an argument - Editing local.conf will not save us. Please change default configuration.
