Public bug reported: Upstream dropped Bitstream Vera fonts, please apply that fix in the Ubuntu package.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/fcb042028126d79ea5a5fa015b2b034b98656e73 Rationale: DejaVu font extends the Bitstream Vera font, and is already installed by default. Besides, the Bitstream Vera font is very obsolete, looks worse than DejaVu and sometimes as a negative side effect it takes over as a default font when installed (without DejaVu). After applying the upstream fix, this Ubuntu patch becomes obsolete (03_prefer_dejavu.patch): https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/tree/debian/patches/03_prefer_dejavu.patch You may also think about updating the whole package to an up-to-date snapshot, since the last Debian/Ubuntu version update was in 2018. ** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: fontconfig (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958084 Title: Please apply the upstream commit to drop Bitstream Vera fonts Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: New Status in fontconfig package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: Upstream dropped Bitstream Vera fonts, please apply that fix in the Ubuntu package. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/fcb042028126d79ea5a5fa015b2b034b98656e73 Rationale: DejaVu font extends the Bitstream Vera font, and is already installed by default.
