Should consider adding `ttf-font` as a dependency?

Can you be more specific or show a capture of the issue? I don’t have any issue here, but I have a ttf-font provider (not ttf-dejavu) indeed.

Attaching screenshots of before and after installation of ttf-dejavu. Without this package characters are rendered as boxes only.

Not sure, but it appears that just having the virtual package ttf-font may not be enough. Before installation of darktable-2:3.0.0-1, ttf-font was provided by noto-fonts-20190926-3 on my machine, but didn't allow proper font rendering in darktable. Only installation of ttf-dejavu-2.37-2 fixed the issue. Hope this helps.

Then your issue is something else. I don’t have ttf-dejavu installed, but noto-fonts and it definitively works for me. How do you configure default fonts on your system? Which ones are defined where.
Comment by Kaspar Hollenstein (archiebug) - Friday, 03 January 2020, 20:47 GMT
Makes sense. Can you help me out with some more details on what you mean with configure default fonts and where they are defined? This is rather confusing to me. None of the files in /etc/fonts or its subdirs change upon installation of ttf-dejavu and I don't recall ever making any changes to any of these files either. Below is what ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf looks like. I have never made any edits to this,either.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintnone</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

Okay, I think I worked it out. I added /etc/fonts/local.conf below to set preferred fonts to Noto. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Would it still make sense to add ttf-font as a dependency to darktable?
