Consider dropping/changing font dependency
Description:
GTK does not depend on any specific font.
Arch packaging is depending on cantarell-fonts
, which GTK only uses internally as a reference.
If this is done simply to appease a typical Gnome environment, that default is now adwaita-fonts
.
Regardless, the Cantarell font is unused on the system and non-required by any other packages:
$ pactree -r -d1 cantarell-fonts
cantarell-fonts
├─gtk3
└─gtk4
As this is cruft, I remove the dependency when I rebuild GTK3/4 (without the X11 backend).
Please consider either:
- Dropping the font dependency altogether (ala Fedora) and relying on
fontconfig
.
-or-
- Changing the font dependency to
adwaita-fonts
to match Gnome.
