[Ubuntu 16.04] DejaVu version gets priority over BitStream Vera and EmojiOne Color about emojione-color-font HOT 16 CLOSED

Thank you for the great details!

I don't see Bitstream Vera on your list. Do you have it installed?

You have two versions of the font installed: < V1.1 and V1.1+. EmojiOne rebranded to remove the space, so I changed the internal name in V1.1. You should remove the version with the space.

from emojione-color-font.

Bitstream Vera installed ver. 1.10-8
EmojiOne ver. 1.2-1 from ppa

from emojione-color-font.

Your output shows:

$ fc-match -s sans-serif
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf: "Emoji One Color" "Regular"
EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf: "EmojiOne Color" "Regular"
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Bold"

Mine, yes on Ubuntu 14.04, shows:

$ fc-match -s sans-serif | head -n4
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"
EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf: "EmojiOne Color" "Regular"
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Bold"

The specific issue on your machine is:

DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Bold"

DejaVu is being selected instead of Bitstream Vera. Can you select Vera in another program such as LibreOffice?

from emojione-color-font.

Yeah, Bitstream Vera is selectable in any application. Sans, sans mono and serif.

from emojione-color-font.

How strange. I've done no tests in 16.10 since it won't be released until October. I'll add this to my todo list.

Can you give the output of a direct request for Vera Serif?

$ fc-match -s "Bitstream Vera Serif" | head -n2
VeraSe.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Serif" "Roman"
EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf: "EmojiOne Color" "Regular"

from emojione-color-font.

Oh, i'm sorry. My bad :( I have Ubuntu 16.04 x64. I'll fix initial post.

from emojione-color-font.

Ah ok! That makes more sense. I was surprised anyone was running 16.10 yet.

Also your output from:

$ ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/
VeraBd.ttf  VeraIt.ttf    VeraMoBI.ttf  VeraMono.ttf  VeraSe.ttf
VeraBI.ttf  VeraMoBd.ttf  VeraMoIt.ttf  VeraSeBd.ttf  Vera.ttf

fc-match -s "Bitstream Vera Serif" | head -n2

Have you removed the second older version of the emoji font?

from emojione-color-font.

What i've done:

• find EmojiOne fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/emoji and in ~/.local/share/fonts removed last one — not helps.
• reinstall fonts-emojione-svginot — not helps
• run fc-cache -f -v and sudo fc-cache -f -v — not helps

from emojione-color-font.

I've been really busy.

The main issue is that we need to get your system to match Vera above DejaVu. This is why it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with the emoji font.

fc-match -s serif
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"
EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf: "Emoji One Color" "Regular"

It should be Vera there. It's even stranger that your system is matching DejaVu as Vera:

DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Bold"

I was hoping for some other reports about this or a way for me to reproduce it. I'm downloading a 16.04 ISO right now to test in VM.

I am also running Ubuntu 16.04. Here's my output after installing from the PPA

rjh@merlion:~$ fc-match -s serif | head

rjh@merlion:~$ fc-match -s sans-serif | head

I have this configs in my /etc/fonts/conf.d/:

56-emojione-color.conf
57-dejavu-sans.conf
57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf
57-dejavu-serif.conf
58-dejavu-lgc-sans.conf
58-dejavu-lgc-sans-mono.conf
58-dejavu-lgc-serif.conf

which contains aliases like that:

  <alias binding="same">
    <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
    <accept>
      <family>DejaVu Sans</family>
    </accept>
  </alias>

is not our problem?

from emojione-color-font.

@richardjharris Yes. That's exactly what it should be. Thank you for the confirmation.

@qnub

is not our problem?

No. I wrote the fontconfig to handle that.

I've just downloaded an ISO and tested the installation process on Ubuntu 16.04 in VirtualBox. Everything went as expected, except for needing to enable the Universe repository. It works correctly and all emoji are visible.

I don't know everything about font config, but there's clearly an issue with your font configuration. I've spent hours testing and reviewing the provided fontconfig. I'm not sure how to help you from here since I cannot reproduce the issue.

The fontconfig docs: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html

from emojione-color-font.

@qnub I haven't heard any further details regarding so, I must close this issue.

I believe it is happening on your machine, but I cannot reproduce the issue there I cannot fix it. Please try the font installation in a fresh virtual machine on your computer. If you can give me steps to reproduce on a fresh 16.04 VM, I can fix or update the README.md about how to avoid the problem. Thank you!
