Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-desktop (Team) <desktop@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 256969: x11-fonts/fontconfig: 49-sansserif.conf doesn't work with fontconfig 2.13.93 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D256969 --- Description --- After updating fontconfig 2.13.93, the configuration file '49-sansserif.con= f' shipped with fontconfig itself stops working. This means if some glyphs can= not be found in the given font, fontconfig will pick fallback fonts randomly instead of honoring what the user sets as sans-serif. For example, I set sans-serif to 'Noto Sans CJK TC', but it is not guarante= ed that I will see 'Noto Sans CJK TC' when fontconfig needs a fallback font. It sometimes picks 'Noto Sans CJK SC', 'Noto Sans CJK HK' and 'Noto Sans CJK K= R' as fallback fonts for glyphs which are also supported by 'Noto Sans CJK TC'. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues/267 We can fix the issue by applying this upstream patch. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/142
