Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
Shortly after todays upgrade of fontconfig 2.4.1-2 -> 2.4.2-1, after
restarting my browser, the fonts looked ugly. I'm using a Thinkpad
laptop which has a RGB LCD panel.
I think this is due to the default font for "Sans" now returning
DejaVu Sans with a "Condensed" flavor.
bee% fc-match "Sans"
DejaVu-Sans-Condensed.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Condensed"
As a workaround, I moved the condensed ttf font out of the way:
mv /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf \
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf.disabled
and dpkg-reconfigured ttf-dejavu and fontconfig. Now I get correctly
looking fonts again:
bee% fc-match "Sans"
DejaVu-Sans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
Since I see no mention of this change in the fontconfig changelog, I
suppose this is bug; but please reassign to ttf-dejavu if needed.
Bye,

The fix is to have these packages register their fonts to defoma. This
will automatically run fc-cache -f in the defoma directory.

OK, I managed to find out what happened. I'm using Bitstream Vera as the
default, but for some weird reason, epiphany was explicitly using DejaVu
as the default font. This way, with the new fontconfig, DejaVu Sans
Condensed was picked up. As it doesn't have any hinting, the output
looks very similar to Nimbus Sans. (In fact, recent improvements in
Nimbus hinting make it look better than that, so it looks more like how
Nimbus Sans was last time I saw it.)
