Dear fontconfig list,
I took a look at fontconfig's development and found that bugzilla for
fontconfig is not accessible [1]. The page says " Sorry, entering a bug into
the product fontconfig has been disabled.". It seems that a transition from
cgit + bugzilla to GitLab is ongoing; before the transition settles down, I
think the best way of proposing a patch for fontconfig should be sending an
email here.
Noto CJK fonts [2] provides sans-serif, serif and monospace fonts for CJK
(Chinese, Japanese and Korean) characters. I think it might be better for
fontconfig to properly recongnize them (as sans-serif, serif or monospace).
This patch would modify conf.d/40-nonlatin.conf to register those font's
generic family name.
Plain text patch pasted as follows. A patch file is provided as well as
attachment.
