From: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com> To: kbd@lists.altlinux.org Cc: mfabian@redhat.com Subject: [kbd] eurlatgr uses different glyph for ' (single quote) than latarcyrheb-sun16 Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:16:17 -0700 Message-ID: <1438726577.3435.7.camel@redhat.com> (raw) Hi, folks. Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NewDefaultConsoleFont - "eurlatgr is based on latarcyrheb-sun16 so the typeface does not change" - it sounds like eurlatgr is intended to have the same appearance as latarcyrheb-sun16 for characters they share in common, but in fact there seems to be at least one noticeable difference: the single quote character ('). In eurlatgr it's a straight, vertical line; in latarcyrheb-sun16 (and the qemu firmware font, for whatever that's worth...) it's a curl, like a comma. It's easy to see this: just type a ' in a console and flip between eurlatgr and latarcyrheb-sun16 . I noticed this because we've been implementing some Fedora tests using openQA, SUSE's screenshot-match-based automated test framework, and one of the tests we use matches against a string with a ' in it on a console. For $BORING_REASONS the font used wound up being eurlatgr in some tests I was running and the qemu console font in others, so the match failed sometimes.
