#617 Kinoite 42-Beta Regression: Adobe Source Code Pro fonts missing
Closed: Won't fix by siosm. Opened by frog-yoot.

Closed: Won't fix
Reopen Issue

Hi,

I've been using the Adobe Source Code Pro font family as my global monospace font for years... and they are gone in f42 beta!

Apparently the fonts where carried along as a dependency? The new Adwaita Mono fonts aren't bad, but they are NOT the same. None of the other default f42 fonts have the right combination of look, feel, and Unicode coverage.

Could:

A) Fedora KDE / Kinoite add Source Code Pro as a required font?

or

B) Fedora Desktops in general add Source Code Pro as a require font?

I use a few Atomic Desktop variants and it would be "nice" if any given desktop spin has Source Code Pro available OoTB.

I have not checked exactly but it likely come as a dependency from GNOME/GTK bits, thus why it got removed. We can not really ship all fonts that user may like in the image, I don't think we'll add it back as it's not part of the default fonts used by KDE as well.

It should be possible to install it via layering or via extracting them in the right place in your home directory. Otherwise, we could make a system extension out of it to install it, but I've not tried this yet.

I understand it's not ideal but we don't have better options for system wide font installation.

Thanks! I want the font available to all users, and apparently /usr/local is writable on ostree systems? News to me. It's trivial to install the fonts in a podman container and install them globally...

If and when sysext fonts become a thing it'll be a boon.

I'll close this one as I don't think we'll "fix" it. As a workaround, you can layer any fonts or install them in your home or in the /usr/local part of the system. Maybe the sysext will make this easier in the future. We'll see.
