[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#1029707: Maybe set DejaVu Sans Mono as default font for Arabic

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

A rewritten patch has been added in Ubuntu only:

https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-terminal/-/commit/16b3db1b

Closing this bug based on the above discussion and this follow-up 
discussion on #debian-gnome:

<GunnarHj> Hi smcv, are you ready for a final decision about 
https://bugs.debian.org/1029707 ? The MR (targeting Ubuntu) includes 
some improvements after review.
<smcv> GunnarHj: my inclination is to say that if you want to patch this 
in Ubuntu, that's up to Ubuntu, but I don't think the cost:benefit ratio 
is suitable for also patching this in Debian
<GunnarHj> smcv: Ok, then I know, and will close the bug later. Thanks 
for considering it.
<smcv> I can see that it's a more serious bug in Ubuntu, given Ubuntu's 
different default font
<smcv> but I think when Debian's default configuration is believed to 
work well, divergence from upstream + ignoring user configuration is too 
high a price
<GunnarHj> smcv: Indeed it's more important in Ubuntu. I understand and 
respect the trade-off you do from a Debian POV.
<smcv> I did make sure to cc debian-l10n-arabic to give them an 
opportunity to say "actually we want this too", but I haven't seen a 
response from there
