It's a known fact that GNOME2 won't be shipping with 12.1 (as no one placed work into it). My default install of openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME3 from the stable repository uses Cantarell as the default font (I will confirm with Factory). If this is the case on Factory (Cantarell being the default font for GNOME3, and since GNOME2 won't be available), there won't be a issue with this. Now, does Cantarell support Cyrillic glyphs? Either way, I've added this topic to the next GNOME Meeting, which will be tomorrow[1].

I don't know what is the default font in fresh openSUSE Factory install. Anyway, #658116 is generally actual. The main idea of this report is Russian Community can't use openSUSE branding style in Russian language. We plan to design Russian openSUSE Community logo with Cyrillic text. In future, possibly, — wallpapers, welcome screens, posters, etc. I've reported to GNOME team because the font is maintained in GNOME:Factory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699959 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699959#c6 --- Comment #6 from Nelson Marques 2011-06-16 17:18:21 UTC --- Hi, We've talked about this in the GNOME meeting today and so far a few decisions were made: 1. There won't be a GNOME2 effort for 12.1, we will try to improve the 'fallback' mode and provide a customized session as close as possible to the old GNOME2 interface. This will be using the default GNOME3 font which is Cantarell (which according to the information I have does have support for cyrillic glyphs). 2. GNOME3 is defaulted with Cantarell and we're keeping it that way (which will solve the issue with Russian Glyphs). There seemed to be a problem in the past with Cantarell and spacing, but we were informed that it has been fixed already. 3. It seems Jimmac is no longer maintaining the Fifth Leg font, so I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to check the branding stuff on the -project list. On a personal basis, considering the importance of the Russian speaking community in openSUSE I do subscribe your efforts, and please keep us posted about the your needs because I'm sure that the GNOME Team will try their best into providing the best support possible for the Russian speaking community. I'll leave up to you guys to decide if the bug can be closed or not, but it seems it's a project/design thing here. Without GNOME2 not making it's way into 12.1 and with Cantarell supporting Cyrillic glyphs (default font for G3), it seems to me it's a design/branding issue now.

3. It seems Jimmac is no longer maintaining the Fifth Leg font, so I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to check the branding stuff on the -project list.

FYI: I've sent him an e-mail and he confirmed that he won't add support for Russian glyphs due to lack of both skills and motivation "to undergo such a daunting task" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

G2 is dead, long live G3, which uses cantarell. As such, I feel confident to be able to mark this bug as resolved (not really solved for 12.1, but at least we have all what's needed in 12.2). Please feel free to open a new bug against 12.2 if this is not sufficient yet. (marking 'wontfix' due to the original bug being fifth leg font... which, in fact, we won't fix.. the switch to cantarell was the fix) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
