1836864 - font-visibility restrictions shouldn't affect "Noto Sans Mono"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1836590

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Oriol Brufau [:Oriol]]

Since bug 1826408, <textarea> text looks ugly in private windows, because Firefox uses "Noto Sans Mono CJK SC" instead of the default "Noto Sans Mono".

From bug 1835567 comment 4, 5 and 6:

Yeah the fact that noto sans mono isn't in https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/thebes/StandardFonts-linux.inc#102 is probably an oversight?

We should confirm that "Noto Sans Mono" is indeed present in a default Ubuntu install, and (assuming so) add it to the list, yes.

I just did a "minimal" clean install of Ubuntu 22.04 in a VM, and confirmed that "Noto Sans Mono" is present (as well as "Noto Mono" -- and yes, they are different).

:timhuang, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1826408, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

I believe we have updated the list of Ubuntu in Bug 1836590.

Oriol, could you verify if this issue has been fixed?

Ah, yes, it looks like a duplicate.
In this PC Firefox uses DejaVu instead of Noto, so right now I can't confirm that the problem with Noto Sans Mono is fixed, I will reopen if it's not.

Works fine.
