Package: fonts-dejavu-core
Version: 2.34-1ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
first of all I'm new to reporting bugs in Debian, so I'm sorry if this is the
wrong place to report this of if this isn't even a bug.
In 57-dejavu-sans.conf DejaVu Sans is set as the default sans-serif font which
is redundant IMHO. 60-latin.conf already has a list of fonts to use and the
dejavu settings overrides the settings there. This was very confusing for me as
I didn't unterstand why the chang in 60-latin.conf didn't have any effect.
Here are the lines which I think should be removed in 57-dejavu-sans.conf:
<!-- Generic name assignment -->
<alias>
<family>DejaVu Sans</family>
<default>
<family>sans-serif</family>
</default>
</alias>
<!-- Generic name aliasing -->
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>DejaVu Sans</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
I'm sorry if there's a reason for them being in that file which I don't know
about.
