Arial Kavovika?
Arial Kavovika?
I have the webcore-fonts package (nux-dextop repo) and MATE desktop (epel repo) installed in a CentOS 7 VirtualBox test system. After updating to 7.6-1810, the MATE control center Appearance->Fonts dialog shows I have "Arial Kavovika" or "Arial Standaard" selected rather than "Arial Regular."
Likewise if I select Times New Roman or Courier New.
Tinkering with VirtualBox snapshots seem to indicate the problem is introduced with the fontconfig package.
Thanks again.
I am guessing the problem lies in the fontconfig files. Any ideas what is happening or how to correct?

This is weird.

After updating fontconfig:
The change in language order seems to imply a locale issue. Yet locale is unchanged:
Flushing all known caches does not help.
I'm befuddled.

Re: Arial Kavovika?
It seems that if style is a comma-separated list, the GUI always shows the first list entry. But the fonts are the same as before. So no real problem.
Re: Arial Kavovika?
A technical issue, no. A usability issue, yes. This is the kind of nonsense that gives the Linux desktop a poor reputation. This kind of glitch should not happen.So no real problem.
Still looking for a fix.
Re: Arial Kavovika?
Anybody know how to resolve this nuisance bug?
Thanks.
Thanks.
