I second this. The Numbus fonts fron urw-fonts (also included with GhostScript and almost everywhere else) contain lots of glyphs that are simply in the wrong places. They should be removed until they're fixed. And this is only with Nimbus Sans L or also with the other nimbus fonts ? Well, commenting only the nimbus sans L out from the configurations did fix the issue (I suppose monospace and serif fonts are missing IPA blocks all along?), but it still might be in other nimbus fonts as well. I suppose removing the serif and monospace versions as well won't do much harm anyways, but perhaps someone that uses cyrillic fonts should confirm first? What's the status here? I can't reproduce it right now. But I don't think the font itself has been fixed or changed at all, rather I suppose the font selection mechanism just happens to select something else right now, for whatever reason (it might be that it understands to skip Nimbus but then again it might just be arbitrary chance). It'd really require a fresh install to test this thoroughly again, but I don't have time for it right now, unfortunately. Unless there's some more handy way to remove fonts temporarily or force fonts around? About time to close this, I guess. Reopen if you can still reproduce the issue. |
