Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.0.68-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi again,
cups-filters uses fontconfig to find a suitable monospaced font for
rendering text to pdf. However, this font is currently hard-coded to
FreeMono. This means, that if the FreeMono font package is installed, users
have no chance to change the font used for text rendering by means of
fontconfig rules anymore. FreeMono will *always* be preferred, there
is no choice.
By changing the hard-coded request for FreeMono to the generic
"monospace" alias, fontconfig returns the next best suitable monospaced font
that is available on the system. This might be FreeMono or any other
font. The actual preference of fonts, however, can be configured
per-system by means of fontconfig configuration files, which is the true
advantage of this approach.
The attached patch does exact this. Please consider applying it.
Thanks,
Fabian
