| amerigena | I just downloaded and installed the latest Focal AMD64 build. Works well, except that it doesn't display the letter combination fi correctly. | 19:55 |
| amerigena | This seems like a bug, but I don't know how it would be reported. | 19:56 |
| amerigena | And this doesn't occur in all cases. It's strange. | 19:59 |
| amerigena | It seems to mainly occur with lowercase fi combinations. Uppercase leading characters are unaffected - on this install at least. | 20:03 |
| amerigena | I.e Firefox, File System desktop icon. | 20:03 |
| amerigena | But Libreoffice - only the O, c and e are displayed either in the Whiskermenu entry, or in the titlebar when the application is opened. | 20:05 |
| amerigena | Same behavior in the .desktop files in /usr/share for Network Configuration - f and i are missing. Catfish File Search - f and i are missing from Catifsh, File is unaffected because it's a capital Fi leading character combination. | 20:07 |
| amerigena | Advanced Network Configuration, same | 20:07 |
| amerigena | Color Profiles, all Libreoffice .desktop files, Notifications, etc. | 20:08 |
| amerigena | System is otherwise perfectly normal and functional. | 20:08 |
| TJ- | maybe t | 20:54 |
| TJ- | it's a font kerning issue? | 20:54 |
| amerigena | Don't know | 21:40 |
| amerigena | Don't even know how to classify it | 21:41 |
| amerigena | Just seems like an obvious bug of an unobvious type | 21:41 |
| TJ- | I seem to recall seeing some options to control font rendering but don't know where precisely - one of the settings applets I think | 21:53 |
| TJ- | Hmmm Appearance > Fonts > Rendering > Hinting maybe? | 21:54 |
| amerigena | Very good. Changing font should have been the first thing I thought of. | 22:04 |
| amerigena | So it's not an OS level issue, it's a Noto Sans Regular rendering issue. | 22:05 |
| amerigena | Liberation Sans displays everything normally. | 22:05 |
| amerigena | Toggling back to Noto Sans at any font size recreates problem. | 22:07 |
| TJ- | nice find! | 22:09 |
| TJ- | what hinting level is set? | 22:09 |
| TJ- | if set to "None" does that stop it happening? | 22:09 |
| === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube | ||
| amerigena | TJ : changing hinting has no effect. Same with any level of antialiasing / hinting. | 22:34 |
| amerigena | I've tried Liberation, Roboto and Gillius. All work fine. Any Noto Sans variation does not - Regular, Bold or Italic. | 22:38 |
| amerigena | Right now I'm using Sans Regular with default antialiasing / hinting | 22:49 |
