Description:
The package ttf-dejavu 2.37-2 appears to have broken something. ttf-dejavu 2.37-1 is working fine. When using rxvt-unicode, some UTF-8 characters are not shown anymore see problem: https://imgur.com/a/xfmIr Here I'm showing the issue in tmux, but it also appears in git-prompt. Additional info: * this doesn't appear when using xterm instead of urxvt with the same config files for Xdefaults or tmux or git-prompt. Steps to reproduce: Use rxvt-unicode with ttf-dejavu 2.37-2 and this config: https://pastebin.com/neYmCrVW Start tmux with this config: https://pastebin.com/FU0yiJEb You should see the white rectangles instead of the triangle character. This is reproduced on my two archlinux desktops. |
This task depends upon
My guess is that some other font is used now because your system has a settings file that overrides the fontconfig defaults.
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/OTF/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,built-ins
In /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf Bitstream Vera is the first choice for serif, sans-serif and monospace, so if you have that installed it will become the default font instead of dejavu.
Thanks for your help in resolving this!
