 |
|
Hello! I am trying to configure my system to support full unicode range. But firefox and emacs won't show some characters, replacing them with square symbols with codes.
locale is set to en_us.utf8
| Code: |
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

media-fonts/noto is installed, but it changed nothing. Looks like it's not used.

i removed media-fonts/noto, as it was doing nothing for me either. try media-fonts/symbola?

Noto doesn't come with any fontconfig, you have to do it yourself:
| Code: | <alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer><family>Noto Serif</family></prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer><family>Noto Sans</family></prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<accept><family>Noto Mono</family></accept>
<accept><family>Noto Sans Mono CJK JP</family></accept>
</alias> |

And here comes the really noobish question... =) Should I add it to local.conf? Or create any other .conf? Do I need to disable every other .conf, except liberation and infinality? Ideally, main font should be liberation and Noto should be used as a fallback. Any guide? Gentoo wiki confused me a little. Thanks! |

| local.conf is fine. If you want programs to prefer Liberation fonts just put <accept> lines for those above the Noto ones. |

| Applied changes to 51-local.conf and now fc-match displays that serif and sans serif are from Noto family-it didn't help. Still Firefox and emacs are displaying codes instead of characters... |
