Hello everyone, I've been using Linux for a couple of years but it hasn't been until recently that I've been paying attention to the font ecosystem so please bare with me :) I'm wondering why on KDE & Gnome (and on apps like Firefox) whenever there's a widget to choose fonts there is always these generic names: Sans & Serif. With this I don't know which sans-serif font I'm using...or which serif font I'm using. For example, when I go to the Firefox preferences...for sans-serif I have "sans-serif" and I'm like "Ok....but WHICH ONE? Is it Liberation Sans? Dejavu Sans?". This is the confusion. I'm guessing now: is it like this so you can define system-wide (at fontconfig level) the typeface you want for sans-serif family? and the serif family? So, for example, imagine I want to use in all system-apps the "Liberation Sans" font for all sans-serif requests...I'll then create a rule on my ~/.fonts.conf for that and I wouldn't need to go to each app (or desktop environment) to specify that I want "Liberation Sans" for sans-serif? I just need to make sure that I have "Sans" in all my preferences and I can double-check that by "fc-match Sans" right? Please help me understand this :) Thanks in advance, Jorge _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
