Re: Problems with Qt?

You can't really expect everyone to monitor the gitlab all the time... if a potential breakage of this was already known in testing and has been seen by the package manager, it would probably have been nice to get a news entry with the info run fc-cache -r on issues and/or at least a post install script reminder

Re: Problems with Qt?

It's also a hybrid, non-packaging bug that hinges on specific (in this case "fringe") fonts.

x-ref, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconf … te_3494845 explains why 48-guessfamily.conf fucks up peoples font configuration

Edit: the (upstream) compatibility break is so massive that the package probably should™ have an upgrade warning about it.

Re: Problems with Qt?
