Remove remaining unwanted fonts #2

Open probonopd opened 4 years ago

probonopd commented 4 years ago

https://github.com/probonopd/system/blob/f52f9db31f9bf6d81710bfbc10ae3eb58dca8171/remaster.sh#L53-L54

Objective: Only fonts-ubuntu should be installed, and fonts that will proactively be chosen.

probonopd commented 4 years ago

It is really liberating to see all the font bloat gone. I would also like to remove those Bitstream ones, only leaving URW and Ubuntu.

I do not want ttf-bitstream-vera fonts-dejavu-core fonts-liberation. Those have reigned the looks of our Linux desktops for far too long.

Are those fonts hardwired into the desktop? How can they be replaced?

Possibly by installing the package and then deleting the installed files from the system, and setting up font substitution. So that whenever someone has specified e.g., Liberation Sans, then something else is automatically used.

This is especially unwanted:

me@host:/isodevice/boot/iso$ fc-match Helvetica
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular"

It means that if someone specified Helvetica, then Liberation Sans gets used despite the much more suitable Nimbus Sans L being available on the system.

But we want to go one step further and never use the unwanted fonts such as Liberation, even if they have been specified.

Check /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf and /etc/fonts/conf.avail/45-latin.conf.

Check that it is working:

me@host:~$ fc-match Times
n021003l.pfb: "Nimbus Roman No9 L" "Regular"

me@host:~$ fc-match "Times New Roman"

me@host:~$ fc-match "Liberation Sans"
n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular"
me@host:~$ fc-match "Liberation Serif"
n021003l.pfb: "Nimbus Roman No9 L" "Regular"

me@host:~$ fc-match "DejaVu Sans"
n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular"
me@host:~$ fc-match "DejaVu Serif"
n021003l.pfb: "Nimbus Roman No9 L" "Regular"

If we do this, then fc-match --verbose Sans does not give us the unwanted fonts anymore. And in the browser, I have the wanted instead of the unwanted sans serif fonts.
