https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D275758 Bug ID: 275758 Summary: x11-fonts/noto-basic and x11-fonts/fontconfig together enable ligatures in "monospace" font Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: shurd@FreeBSD.org CC: desktop@FreeBSD.org, sunpoet@FreeBSD.org CC: desktop@FreeBSD.org, sunpoet@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 247041 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D247041&action= =3Dedit Local override for monospace The Noto Sans Mono has ligatures for fi, ffl, and a few others. When used f= or monospace text, these ligatures take a single space instead of the expected= two (or three). The first monospace font listed in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.con= f is Noto Sans Mono. As a result, if both x11-fonts/noto-basic and x11-fonts/fontconfig are installed, programs that use fontconfig for monospace (at least by default irc/hexchat and devel/geany) will combine two characters into a single cell when a ligature is used. This is highly distracting, and can mess up alignment. My ideal solution would be for either x11-fonts/noto-basic to be patched to= fix the ligatures, or x11-fonts/fontconfig be patched to move Noto Sans Mono to= the bottom of the list instead of the top. It seems unreasonable that if noto-basic is installed, all programs using monospace need to be configured= to use a different font to actually get monospace behaviour. Overriding this is not obvious for someone unfamiliar with fontconfig configuration. I've attached my /usr/local/etc/fonts/local.conf file where= I moved Noto Sans Mono to the bottom of the list. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
