http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1199938 Bug ID: 1199938 Summary: Noto-Sans font looks bold and blurry Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: popov895@ukr.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After updating the noto-sans-fonts package to version 20220516-1.1, the Noto-Sans font now looks bold and blurry. The reason for this seems to be that the Noto Sans switched from ttf to otf font files. In general, now it looks much worse than it was before. It would be great to fix the current look of this font as it was before the update.

Hey Pirateclip, this appears to be your change/package ( https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Pi-Cla:branches:M17N:fonts), so I added you to the CC list.
Sadly, it had some undesireable effects on the looks of the standard KDE font in Opensuse. Could you maybe revert the changes back to how it was before?
For more information, you can have a look at these threads:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/ux33f2/ bug_todays_update_including_mesadri_snapshot_0522/ia2x2lu/?context=3
- https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/uxphgr/ after_the_update_the_notosans_font_became_bolder/
Thank you very much!
Thanks for CCing me and linking the threads. I was not aware of this previously, I will switch them back to hinted then. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

How soon will the fixed font be available in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repos?
Idk exactly when, but right now it is in the staging process so it should appear very soon. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/979599 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
