Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Few fedora releases ago, Noto-Sans-Arabic was set to be the default. It was
working fine and Arabic text was displayed in all web browsers using this font.
sometime in last few months, every web browser in fedora suddenly started
prioritizing "Druid Kufi" font over noto-sans-arabic. which now looks makes
arabic text looks jarring.
Interestingly, when running from live usb image, noto-sans-arabic is correctly
priotirized and being used to render all arabic web pages, but only for FEW
MINUTES and then suddenly it's switched to druid kufi!, without updating
anything, just running Firefox for few minutes.
It's also reproducible after fresh install, the first 3 minutes of using the
new fedora installation, Firefox and other browsers are displaying noto-sans
then suddenly switch to druid kufi.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
38-39
How reproducible:
Consistently
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect to internet
2.Open arabic webpage in firefox (ex, wikipedia)
3.text would be displayed with druid kufi instead of the default
noto-sans-arabic which was chosen to be the default sometime around fedora 36.
Actual results:
Arabic Text displayed with druid kufi font
Expected results:
Arabic text should be displayed using noto-sans-arabic as was the case before.
Additional info:
The font in gnome and top bars is still correctly displayed using
noto-sans-arabic. It's browsers that exhibit the problem.
