Bug#1029237: fontconfig: consider adding NEWS file about changed default font in version 2.14

[Andrea Pappacoda]

Source: fontconfig
Version: 2.14.1-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi, could you please consider adding a NEWS file informing users about the fact
that Noto replaced DejaVu as the default font in fontconfig 2.14? It may mess
things up especially as the default monospace font in terminal emulators; see
for example these messages from #foot on Libera.Chat:

16:27:55 <tachi> fyi, if you've just upgraded your distro recently and noticed
that the monospace font in foot is a bit off, it's because fontconfig 2.14
changed the default from DejaVu to Noto
16:28:06 <tachi> See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/208
16:29:11 <nero> > a bit off
16:29:28 <nero> it fu**ed up my setting so much that i was like, f**k xorg, and
went wayland and foot
16:29:43 <nero> only to learn that this doesnt fix my problem :D
16:30:15 <nero> but thanks for the link
