Title:
update broke fonts in firefox
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have Ubuntu Studio 14.04. The updates window popped up and asked me
to install updates. Which I did. This somehow broke my font
configuration. So that I have blurry fonts in firefox. No other
application is affected.
I have modified nothing in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.
If updates changes the contents of /etc/fonts/conf.d I do not see the
purpose of having a conf.avail/conf.d - organization. The purpose must
be to let users link or unlink files in conf.d to files in conf.avail.
I don't expect updates to create links in /etc/fonts/conf.d that were
previously created at installation time or upgrate time. So if I
unlink something in /etc/fonts/conf.d I expect it to stay that way.
Changes to the files themselves should go in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.
Changes to which files are available by default in /etc/fonts/conf.d
should be applied only when they are CHANGES. Not reinstall the
default links with every update.
