In Fedora we had to exclude several UnitTests because they break due to missing glyphs in fonts. After some digging, as I understand, LO unit tests are written against bundled provided fonts, but some of these are using the "full" version, while fonts provided within Linux distributions are built with the "hinted" or "unhinted" versions. The full version is made by adding the missing glyphs from the base font family, thus they are duplicating glyphs with increased size, so it's not something downstream distribution want to fix. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2334719#c5
hmm i ran into problems with one of them a while ago, and fixed it in this way:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171401
Looking into /external/more_fonts files, these are the fonts using the Full version: ExternalPackage_noto_kufi_arabic.mk ExternalPackage_noto_naskh_arabic.mk ExternalPackage_noto_sans.mk ExternalPackage_noto_sans_armenian.mk ExternalPackage_noto_sans_georgian.mk ExternalPackage_noto_sans_hebrew.mk ExternalPackage_noto_sans_lao.mk ExternalPackage_noto_sans_lisu.mk ExternalPackage_noto_serif_armenian.mk ExternalPackage_noto_serif_georgian.mk ExternalPackage_noto_serif_hebrew.mk ExternalPackage_noto_serif_lao.mk It would be nice if those would be set to use the hinted version, but I don't know if the related tests really require the use of the full version (can't really understand what the tests are actually testing...).
