Which font is that? I don't think there's a font named ttf-lyx. That's
only the package name.
sure...
Well, some of the fonts included in the package work for writing text:
cmr10 (Computer Modern) and eufm10 (Euler Fraktur). The rest are symbol
fonts, though.
sure, I was only talking about the symbol fonts.
But there are fonts like OpenSymbol and Zapf Dingbats visible in the
selector. Do you think they should be hidden too?
Yes, I've already filed a bug against ttf-opensymbol (#611969).
Agreed. But then I think all symbol fonts should be hidden. Is there a
consensus about this?
Not yet, but I've filed bugs about this against all the fonts I have
discovered so far (i.e. ttf-lyx and ttf-opensymbol) and also against
fontconfig (#611274) to provide a feature to hide these fonts by
default based on specific tags (i.e. keywords in fonts.conf).
According to fonts-conf(5):
"Fonts matched by an rejectfont element are "blacklisted"; such fonts
are excluded from the set of fonts used to resolve list and match
requests as if they didn't exist in the system."
AIUI, that means the fonts are not only unlisted, but will in fact never
be used.
Oh, well, that's a bit strong I guess. So my request against
fontconfig to only hide these fonts from font selectors while still
keeping them available on the systems is valid.
Best Regards,
Fabian
