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
Created attachment 11754 [details] Default KCM_Police displays Noto Sans font but it is not installed
[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 installedAssignee: bugsquad => kde
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.
