[Debian-in-workers] Bug#609728: ttf-malayalam-fonts: Dyuthi3.ttf has a spurious Font Subfamily field containing just \n

[Neil Mayhew]

Package: ttf-malayalam-fonts
Version: 1:0.5.11
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


fc-list -f '%{family}|%{style}|%{file}\n' Dyuthi

returns:

Dyuthi|Regular,
|/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-malayalam-fonts/Dyuthi3.ttf

This makes it impossible to list all fonts on the system using the pattern given above.

Instead, the following pattern has to be used:

fc-list -f '%{family}|%{style|delete(\n)}|%{file}\n'

Family, style, etc. should never contain newlines. I have not found any other
Debian font that has this behaviour.
