Title:
fontconfig-config breaks monospace and diacritics
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Besides being redundant (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/387848)
45-latin.conf and 60-latin.conf have contradictory aliases settings. The
superseding one, 45-latin.conf is breaking the 'monospace' alias font when
combining diacritics are being used by prioritizing Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
over DejaVu Sans Mono.
DejaVu Sans Mono has characters and OpenType features Bitsteam Vera Sans Mono
doesn't have. It doesn't make sense to prioritize Vera. This breaks things like
"e" + U+0301, where 'e' comes from Vera and U+0301 comes from DejaVu.
see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556715 or
https://bug556715.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=436657 for
example.
