Bug ID: 1820166
Summary: Droid sans overrides my default CJK font
Product: Fedora
Version: 32
Status: NEW
Component: google-droid-fonts
Severity: low

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
I have this (per-user) fontconfig configuration to set my preferred sans-serif
font:
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Sans</family>
<family>Noto Sans CJK SC</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
It should fall back to "Noto Sans CJK SC" when displaying CJK characters. Since
F32 this isn't working anymore. CJK characters are rendered in a different
font, which I cannot recognize.
Digging through fc_debug logs, "Droid Sans" is appended right after "Noto
Sans", before "Noto Sans CJK SC" in the font matching list. Debug messages
confirm it's indeed Droid Sans getting picked.
Removing the relevant part in /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-google-droid-sans-fonts.conf
mitigates this issue. However since both Noto Sans & Droid Sans do not contain
CJK characters, they should both be skipped in favor of CJK fonts. Could this
be a metadata problem? i.e. Droid Sans wrongly advertises as CJK capable.
