            Bug ID: 1898319
           Summary: dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts: Misleading summary
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 33
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: dejavu-fonts
          Severity: low

Description of problem:

Summary of dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts is misleading. It is: "A variable-width
Latin-Greek-Cyrillic mono-space font family". Accordingly to Wikipedia:

> A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width, or 
> non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the 
> same amount of horizontal space. This contrasts with variable-width fonts, 
> where the letters and spacings have different widths. 

So, a font is either monospaced or variable-width but not both, these are
mutually exclusive concepts. How dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts can be "a
variable-width mono-space font family"??

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-15.fc33

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ dnf info dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts

Actual results:

Summary      : A variable-width Latin-Greek-Cyrillic mono-space font family

Expected results:

Summary      : A Latin-Greek-Cyrillic mono-space font family
