[OpenIndiana-discuss] dejavu font question (and notice)

[Predrag Zečević - Technical Support Analyst]

Hi all,

which *dejavu* font package to use?

$ pkg list dejavu
NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION 
     IFO
system/font/dejavu                                2.37-2018.0.0.2 
     i--

 From 'pkg search -r dejavu' command:

pkg.fmri             set    openindiana.org/system/font/truetype/dejavu 
pkg:/system/font/truetype/dejavu at 2.37-2018.0.0.1
pkg.fmri             set    openindiana.org/system/font/dejavu 
pkg:/system/font/dejavu at 2.37-2018.0.0.2

1st one is required by jenkins package, although second one is "newer" 
(according to version numbers):

$ pfexec pkg install -v developer/jenkins-standalone developer/jenkins

Changed packages:
openindiana.org
   developer/jenkins
     None -> 2.65-2018.0.0.2
   developer/jenkins-standalone
     None -> 2.65-2018.0.0.2
   system/font/truetype/dejavu
     None -> 2.37-2018.0.0.1

pkg install: The following packages all deliver file actions to 
usr/share/fonts/TrueType/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf:

 
pkg://openindiana.org/system/font/truetype/dejavu@2.37,5.11-2018.0.0.1:20180520T173532Z
 
pkg://openindiana.org/system/font/dejavu@2.37,5.11-2018.0.0.2:20181106T081714Z
...

Also, I have noticed that lot of fonts still have both 
system/font/truetype and system/font variants...

I guess that might cause more problems (maybe also messed up fontconfig 
cache, e.g. /var/cache/fontconfig is constantly updated)...

Any thoughts?

With best regards.
