[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#661235: fonts-droid: Japanese variant isn't used and Fallback is selected instead

[Igor Urazov]

Package: fonts-droid
Version: 20101110+git-3
Severity: normal

I'm using Droid Sans as default sans font. Apparently Fontconfig selects Driod
Sans Fallback for Japanese text.

% fc-match
DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
% fc-match sans:lang=ja
DroidSansFallback.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
% fc-match sans:lang=zh
DroidSansFallback.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
% fc-match sans:lang=ar
DroidSansArabic.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
% fc-match sans:lang=th
DroidSansThai.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"

Manually I fixed this by editing Japanese font's code page to "932, JIS/Japan"
with FontForge, before this it was "1252, Latin-1"
