Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/69.0.3497.81 Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Hello, Starting from Chrome 70 it's RPM package strictly depends from 'liberation-fonts'. However, its name is different in distributions other than Fedora. For example, this package is called 'fonts-tt-liberation' in ROSA fresh (former Mandriva) and ALT Linux. We in Rosa had to emergently add 'Provides: liberation-fonts' to our package to allow users to install your (Google's) RPM. I believe this must be a recommended/suggested dependency but not an obligatory one. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? . Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 70.0 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version:

Thanks for the issue... As per comment #0, the seems to be related to "RPM package" which is out of TE-scope. Hence, adding label TE-NeedsTriageHelp for further investigation from dev team. Thanks...!

Google Chrome does not support "ROSA fresh" and "ALT Linux" at all, so I am going to close this because we are going to take any action here. We really want users to have sane fonts, so they do not get rendering errors. You can search the closed bugs on this bug tracker to see prior issues Linux users ran into with font rendering. My suggestion for solving this is for RPM distros to standarize on liberation-fonts as a (meta) package for Liberation Fonts. Having consistent package names will make help make it easier for ISVs to build cross-distro packages. |
