[Debian-in-workers] Bug#583490: Fwd: 90-ttf-malayalam-fonts.conf increases size of all sens-serif fonts

[Jindřich Makovička]

Package: ttf-malayalam-fonts
Version: 1:0.5.9

Hi,

because Meera font is already in the global sans-serif fontset (see
65-nonlatin.conf), the matching rule in
conf.avail/90-ttf-malayalam-fonts.conf matches _any_ sans-serif font,
messing up display on any installation other than native Indian.

The similar rule in conf.d/ttf-malayalam-fonts.conf (using
target="font" instead of target="pattern") seems to be ok.

Also, in all Indian ttf packages, the configuration files are
installed twice, but with small differences, once into conf.d, which
should contain only symlinks, and another variation in conf.avail.
IMHO there should be only one proper version in conf.avail, and it
should be linked to conf.d.

In addition, 90-ttf-oriya-fonts.conf is a broken link. There is no
90-ttf-oriya-fonts.conf in conf.avail.

Regards,
