Hi "Sans", "Serif" (and "Monospace", and a few others) are synthetic fonts composed from the fonts installed on system using the rules defined on system and user-level fontconfig configuration. They're not a simple alias, they can be a patchwork of fonts, and the composition of the patchwork for the same rules depends on the actual font files present on disk. Application developers like to use them, because their presence is guaranteed no matter what, so they don't have to guess what fonts the user chose to install. As long as there is one or several sans-serif scripts on-disk "Sans" will work. The small subset of fontconfig rules we use is documented there http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts/Packaging/Fontconfig for more info, read the existing fontconfig rules, upstream's documentation (/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.5.0/fontconfig-user.txt, man fonts-conf) and ask more precise questions there or on upstream's mailing list. Fontconfig is very smart but its documentation is a tad lacking. -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
