Attachments:	Default KCM_Police displays Noto Sans font but it is not installed

Description Aurelien Oudelet 2020-07-21 18:08:51 CEST

Description of problem:
Upstream, Plasma 5 default font is Noto Sans for UI.
Therefore, that police is not installed by default.

Also, it could be a bug but the police is mentioned in the Systemsettings5 KCM_Police as in attachment below.

What police is substituted? Sans? DejaVu Sans?

How reproducible: Mga8a1. Always.

Workaround:
# urpmi google-noto-sans-font
Change font and apply Noto Sans font in Plasma 5 Systemsetting5 KCM_Police

[Police = font]
Thank you for pointing this out, and the helpful screenshot.

I doubt that it is a bug if Mageia chooses to use a different default font here; but it might be if that is the expected standard for this desktop. I cannot find a simple Noto Sans font package, only the equivalent 'google-noto-sans-fonts'.

What does matter is that Noto Sans is shown on the attached screenshot when it is not installed (or available?).

Summary: [Plasma 5] Default font is Noto Sans upstream but not in Mageia Cauldron => Plasma Systemsettings5 KCM_Fonts shows Noto Sans as default, but it is not installed

I don't think it is a bug that Mageia does not use Noto Sans font as system default police. Mageia is free to utilize whatever police as branding.

But I think it is a bug when a user visible settings displays a police when it is not that is really used.
