[opensuse-factory] testing leap422a3 - minimum text-only - fonts being installed?
It seems odd that these font-related pakcages are being installed: cantarell-fonts dejavu-fonts fontconfig fonts-config google-opensans-fonts libfontenc1 libfont-specimen0 libfreetype6 mkfontdir mkfontscale yast2-fonts -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Okay, those all seem to be related to grub2 which I'd forgotten to deselect. (despite having selected no boot loader). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I don't believe all are in the same category: # rpm -qR release-notes-openSUSE dejavu-fonts google-opensans-fonts rpmlib... I find hard requires of any particular font package just to have release notes locally available onerous and unnecessary, especially since neither requires (AFAICT) are used as system fonts in any of the DEs. I'd be surprised to find other distros have corresponding font deps. Release notes work fine with google-opensans-fonts tabooed out, falling back to the monospace, sans-serif and serif defaults. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I'll have to double check, but I believe I had accidentally deselected "ruby2.1-rubygem-cfa_grub2" which caused the above to be deselected. As deselecting "ruby2.1-rubygem-cfa_grub2" caused the above to re-selected ... I needed/wanted "ruby2.1-rubygem-cfa_grub2" in order to auto-select "Yast System Administration".

Agree. And pretty odd. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.5°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This is not grub2, but YaSY component for reading grub2 configuration files. At least on TW I do not see it to Require or Suggest any of font packages, at least directly. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I'll do another installation today, and report back. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

dejavu-fonts, cantarell-fonts and google-opensans-fonts seem to required by release-notes-openSUSE. Deselecting yast2-fonts gets rid of the rest. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Its probably a historical thing more then anything else especially now that the default fonts have changed, if you would be so kind as to open a bug ticket for me i'll remember to look into it when I next get to doing a clean up of the patterns. Or for that matter the same can be done for any other legacy pattern issue. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adeliade Australia, UTC+9:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
