Bug ID: 433345
Summary: create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf
automatically and put default fonts there
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.21.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_fonts
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: chandradeep...@posteo.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kind of opposite of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431649. Most non-KDE
applications do not respect KDE font settings
Currently Plasma doesn't create the file. If it is already there, Plasma adds
hinting=true and hintstyle=hintslight.
OBSERVED RESULT
`fc-match 'sans'` returns DejaVu Sans or Nimbus Sans or some other font because
no explicit font configuration is added.
Example - Telegram uses 'Open Sans',"Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans
Unicode",Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif;
and on Arch Linux used to fall back to DejaVu or Nimbus. People complained
enough that ttf-opensans has now been marked a dependency of Telegram there.
EXPECTED RESULT
Fonts set in the KCM should be used everywhere.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.10.17-1-lts
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
