2016-03-12 17:55:07 Mingye Wang description See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81453 and bug 1468027. Fontconfig lacks support for many OpenType/TrueType OS/2 font weight values. This causes a bunch of problems, like mixing up Demilight (weight=350) and Regular (weight=400). See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81453 and bug 1468027. Fontconfig lacks support for many OpenType/TrueType OS/2 font weight values. This causes a bunch of problems, like mixing up Demilight (weight=350) and Regular (weight=400). Although it's possible to write (dirty?) hacks for deb-packed fonts, this still causes problems for otherwise sourced packages.
