Re: Bug#1029707: Maybe set DejaVu Sans Mono as default font for Arabic
A rewritten patch has been added in Ubuntu only:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-terminal/-/commit/16b3db1b
Closing this bug based on the above discussion and this follow-up
discussion on #debian-gnome:
<GunnarHj> Hi smcv, are you ready for a final decision about
https://bugs.debian.org/1029707 ? The MR (targeting Ubuntu) includes
some improvements after review.
<smcv> GunnarHj: my inclination is to say that if you want to patch this
in Ubuntu, that's up to Ubuntu, but I don't think the cost:benefit ratio
is suitable for also patching this in Debian
<GunnarHj> smcv: Ok, then I know, and will close the bug later. Thanks
for considering it.
<smcv> I can see that it's a more serious bug in Ubuntu, given Ubuntu's
different default font
<smcv> but I think when Debian's default configuration is believed to
work well, divergence from upstream + ignoring user configuration is too
high a price
<GunnarHj> smcv: Indeed it's more important in Ubuntu. I understand and
respect the trade-off you do from a Debian POV.
<smcv> I did make sure to cc debian-l10n-arabic to give them an
opportunity to say "actually we want this too", but I haven't seen a
response from there
