Details

Description:
With noto-fonts-emoji installed, Okteta (and e.g. kwrite) render digits using the emoji font, resulting in inconsistent font style and spacing. See attached files for the difference between Okteta with the 66-noto-color-emoji.conf file vs without the file.

package version(s): 20191016-4

Workaround is to remove 66-noto-color-emoji.conf file, and install the fontconfig-emoji-git package from AUR, which has fontconfig files that enable noto emojis without causing this issue.

What monospace font is set in systemsettings?
Comment by Paul Gideon Dann (giddie) - Tuesday, 10 March 2020, 11:53 GMT
Bitstream Vera Sans 9pt

Setting the monospace font to Noto Monospace in SystemSettings also works around the problem (good enough for me for now), but seems too fragile to be a proper solution to this.

I can't reproduce this. Do you have any custom fontconfig font file?

Hmm, yeah that's weird. This might be a KDE thing. It seems that once I change the Monospace font in System Settings, even if I switch it back to Bitstream Vera Sans again afterwards, the problem goes away. The same thing happened on another machine too. I guess this was some old config that hadn't been updated for a while - I haven't re-installed in 8 or 9 years now :p I can't see anything obviously different in ~/.config/fontconfig or /etc/fonts/conf.d, though.

Oh well, close this as un-reproduceable, I guess?
