Fontconfig file oversight on Noto Sans CJK fonts
Last modified: 2024-06-13 12:08:09 UTC
On /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-family-prefer.conf the Noto Sans CJK fonts don't have the 'CJK' part in their names (instead of "Noto Sans CJK JP" it appears as "Noto Sans JP"), making the fonts not get used for CJK text.
The package google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts switched from the region-specific variants (Noto Sans {JP,KR,SC,TC}) to the language-specific variants (Noto Sans CJK {JP,KR,SC,TC}) in revision 5. https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/openSUSE:Factory/google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts?linkrev=base&rev=5#diff_2_n66 60-family-prefer.conf in the package fonts-config has not catch up with this change. Because users may install the region-specific variants manually, I think adding the language-specific CJK variants to 60-family-prefer.conf, rather than change the existing region-specific ones, is preferable.
