description |
This is a follow-up of bug #1891733. After the new default font for Arabic had made it to focal, we got some additional feedback at <https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/14573>. There seems to be a consensus to make these adjustments:
* Replace "Noto Sans Arabic UI" with "Noto Naskh Arabic UI" as
default Arabic font for sans-serif
* Drop the specification for monospace, and with that fall back
to DejaVu for Arabic monospace |
[Impact]
This is a follow-up of bug #1891733. After the new default font for Arabic had made it to focal, we got some additional feedback at <https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/14573>. After further discussion, trial and error, and multiple changes in groovy it has landed in a consensus to make these adjustments:
* Rename the .conf file from 69- to 56-
* Drop binding="strong"
* Drop the specification for monospace, and with that fall back
to DejaVu for Arabic monospace
The significance of the changes, which motivates the proposed SRU, is made up of:
1. Use DejaVu Sans Mono as default Arabic font for monospace
instead of the previous non-mono font
2. No longer conflicts with Kubuntu's custom font configuration
[Test case]
* Install the language-selector-{gnome,common} packages
from focal-proposed.
* Open the Language Support tool and install Arabic.
* Open a terminal window, run the below commands and confirm
that you get the same output:
$ LC_CTYPE=ar_EG.UTF-8 fc-match
NotoSansArabicUI-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans Arabic UI" "Regular"
$ LC_CTYPE=ar_EG.UTF-8 fc-match monospace
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
[Regression risk]
For some users this will change the default monospace font for rendering Arabic. That's the point. :)
The change will only affect users with an Arabic locale. The risk that other users would be affected by the change is low. |
