DetailsDescription:
Font config incorrectly substitutes ZapfDingbats and Symbol with Bitstream Vera, even though correct alternatives are present and configured (e.g. DejaVu). A thorough discussion of the issue can be found here - https://github.com/eosrei/emojione-color-font/issues/40 Additional info: * package version(s) fontconfig 2.12.1-3 * config and/or log files etc. N/A * Actual Result $ fc-match -s sans Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman" ... * Expected Result $ fc-match -s sans DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" ... Steps to reproduce: 1. create a PDF including symbols (e.g Greek Letters) 2. Install Bitstream Vera or BistreamVera-based Unicode font (e.g. EmojiOne Color Font) 2. view PDF in viewer (e.g. Evince) 3. symbols are substituted by empty boxes |
This task depends upon
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97470 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97468
But I guess this won't solve the above font substitution issue.
I guess we can close our bug as "upstream"?
