This has just recently been fixed by MS [1]. This means that webpages using these fonts will be displayed with squares or character from other fonts instead. DejaVu fonts don't have this problem. If the user chooses Romanian or Bulgarian language or sets the time to Bucharest or Sofia, fetchcorefonts should NOT be installed. Alternatively, the package could be updated to extact the new fonts from [1] if the user has a valid Windows license (like the install script at [2] does) [1] http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0ec6f335-c3de-44c5-a13d-a1e7cea5ddea&DisplayLang=en [2] http://corefonts.sourceforge.net Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.
