How about chromium? This might be a firefox issue if it prefers Dejavu to Noto Arabic (it sounds like that is the case): then I think you should report a bug in Mozilla bugzilla to ask them to change the priorities. I think nowadays Dejavu should be considered more of a fallback than default: but of course it is still the default font in Ubuntu so... Nevertheless I don't see a problem with preferring Noto if installed. You can also open a Fedora bug to track this. Jens ps In general it is better to start a new thread for problems like this, after a long time. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
