Bug ID: 407055
Summary: KDE Plasma ignores local fonts.conf file when trying
to use Opentype alternate features
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Screenshot showing both text editors, Gedit shows the Opentype features, Kate
does not.
SUMMARY
I'm trying to use IBM Plex Mono's Alternate stylistic set OpenType feature to
get slashed zeroes. I have edited ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf as described
in [this wiki
entry](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration/Examples) but I
can't seem to get KDE to change the font this way. When I added the fonts.conf
with the code from the wiki above in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf I get
slashed zeroes on Solus Budgie. I tried logging in to the Plasma DE on Solus
and I do not get the slashed zero. I also have this same issue on other distros
I use with KDE Plasma. In Solus, when I open Gnome apps even in KDE they
respect the local fontconfig but KDE apps do not. I have attached a screenshot
to show how GTK apps show the alternate Opentype features but KDE ones do not.
Just in case anyone is wondering I am sure I am not just using a different font
in Gedit. I have two other opentype features enabled (as you can see in the
fonts.conf that cause an alternate a and g in the Gnome apps that respect the
setting like Gedit).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Specify an Opentype alternate feature in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
2. Observe that the feature is not showing up in KDE apps
OBSERVED RESULT
Opentype alternate stylistic settings specified in
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf are not displayed in KDE apps.
EXPECTED RESULT
To see the Opentype alternate stylistic settings specified in
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf displayed in KDE apps.
