Minor Font Name Issue #860

O/S: Linux System 4.13.0-32-generic
Distribution: Ubuntu Maté, 17.10
Xiphos Release: 4.0.4 (gtk3 webkit1)

Issue: Xiphos appears to have have an issue parsing Hebrew font names when adding them to the fonts.conf file.
Affected File: ~/.xiphos/fonts.conf

Example:

  • Hebrew text: WLC: Westminster Leningrad Codex.
  • Right-click text, Module Options > Font.
  • Current font: SBL Hebrew.
  • New font selected: Taamey David CLM Medium.

Result: generic sans-serif font appears (possibly Arial) instead of selected font.

fonts.conf has this entry:

[WLC]
Font=Taamey David CLM Medium
Fontsize=+1

Solution: A quick edit to remove the word Medium from the font name corrects the issue.

fonts.conf edited:

[WLC]
Font=Taamey David CLM
Fontsize=+1

Unsure where the issue resides: be it the O/S, font names or Xiphos. However, this issue appears to affect Hebrew texts only.

Note: Fonts are drawn from ~/.fonts folder.
