/etc/fonts/Language-selector.conf does not ignore alias setting in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

[nahs]

in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf it already has alias setting for sans, serif and monospace. Language-selector.conf must ignore set in there. and apply setting in Language-selector.conf.

But now it doesn't .

I think <include>Language-selector.conf</include> must be located before <alias> setting in font.conf like ~.fonts.conf or /conf.d .

Thanks for your bugreport.

Does it makes a (visible) difference for you if place the language-selector include before the <alias> setting in fonts.conf? Where does the "/etc/fonts/language-selector.conf symlink points to for you?

I'm happy to change the order of the include, my impression from reading the fontconfig manual was that a later include would overwrite pervious settings. The manual was not clear here (IMHO) so this may very well be wrong.

Please let me know what setting works better for you (and please add information about your language and the symlink target as well) and I'm happy to fix it.

Thanks,
 Michael

atie will give you language-selector.conf for korean which ubuntu-ko team
made.

if you insert new fonts in <alias> alias will use first <family>. And some
language can't display with first <family> fontconfig will find next
<family>. So inserted font, if you added if last line of <alias> in
fonts.conf, it has lowest priority.

<include> tag just insert the file to fonts.conf into which include is
wrtten. So if you insert it after <alias> tag it will has lower - priority
then alias tag in fonts.conf.

So, I think priority order should be ~.fonts.conf > conf.d >
language-selector > alias.

Thanks for the explaination. The latest fontconfig upload fixed the include order. I close the bug now. I also uploaded the improved ko_KR that atie send me.
