Description:
Since upgrading the gsfonts package from 20150811-1 to 20160531-3 (reverting fixes the issue), Firefox stopped using a bold font (using a regular weight font instead) in some cases where 'font-weight: bold' is specified, for example on GitHub for user names. Steps to reproduce (… at least on my system): * Install gsfonts (possibly as a dependency of evince) and Firefox * In Firefox, navigate to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/35408 * At the end of the first message, "@rust-lang/compiler" should be in a bolder font than the rest of the message. On my system with up-to-date packages, it has the same (regular weight) font as the rest of the message. The Fonts panel of developer tools shows that "NimbusSans-Regular" is used, even though /usr/share/fonts/OTF/NimbusSans-Bold.otf exists next to /usr/share/fonts/OTF/NimbusSans-Regular.otf. Steps to confirm responsible package: * Downgrade with "sudo pacman --needed -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gsfonts-20150811-1-any.pkg.tar.xz" (assuming this old version is in the cache) * Restart Firefox * Navigate to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/35408 again * "@rust-lang/compiler" is now correctly in a bold font. The devtools show that "NimbusSanL-Bol" is used. |
