If you're having an issue upgraded with errors related to fonts like merriweather, here's my steps to resolve the issue (assuming you have Yaourt): #Clear out what you had before yaourt -R fonts-meta-extended-lt sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) sudo pacman -R ttf-google-fonts-git sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) #Install dependencies yaourt -S ttf-merriweather-sans ttf-opensans ttf-oswald ttf-quintessential ttf-signika yaourt -S fonts-meta-extended-lt #Heads up, if ttf-impallari-cantora isn't fixed yet, change the PKGBUILD source to the URL in the comments on the package yaourt -S ttf-impallari-cantora yaourt -S ttf-google-fonts-git

The package itself could just not include the Cantarell family, and drop the 'cantarell-fonts' conflict. This way gnome users will not see their default font deteriorating when installing the package. I have no idea about packaging policies or whether or not this is bad practice. Of course people will have to install cantarell-fonts themselves, unless you include it as a dependency as you suggested. There are more flaws/bugs in the font package as is right now, i.e. the problem I mentioned about the Cousine font being defect. I just override the defects right now manually with fontconfig rules. A better long term solution would be suggesting on the google code page (https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/) that they switch to this improved font as well. I do not know if there might be any licensing issues in that.

Thanks for the input! Do you think the package should do something during installation for fixing the Cantarell problem, or even, as wilfriedd suggested, delete the Cantarell font from google-fonts and add the Gnome Cantarell fonts as a dependency? Or would this be bad practice as it alters the "original" google-fonts?

Another problem I'd like to mention for anyone having the same issue (is an upstream issue however). Please remove if this is not the place for it. Cousine-Regular.ttf is defect since the last version. I use this as my terminal/programming monospace font so it was immediately obvious when I installed the latest version. For now I fixed it by reverting to the previous version. Upstream bugreport: https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/issues/detail?id=232&start=100

@MacNuke That hinting configuration doesn't do much. The problem is that the cantarell-fonts contain a version of Cantarell maintained by Gnome. Gnome is still actively developing and tweaking Cantarell (see http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/cantarell-fonts/0.0/ ), while Google only offers the original unmodified one. I fixed this problem by blacklisting the Google Cantarell in my user specific fontconfig settings, as well as installing the Gnome Cantarell manually for my user. Another solution is switching your default gnome font to another humanist sans font like Open Sans, which also gives a nice result.

MacNuke commented on 2013-06-09 21:28 (UTC)

Oh Okay. Sorry about that. I looked at the original cantarell-font package and saw that they deliver a special hinting-configuration. https://projects.archlinux.de/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/cantarell-fonts Maybe this should be added?

sebstar commented on 2013-06-09 13:11 (UTC)

Sorry, no idea. I think you should ask in the Arch forums. For the sake of organisation, let's keep discussions in the comments of AUR packages about the packages itself :) However, if the outcome was going to be a missing dependency or conflict, or missing configuration step that should be applied during installation, I'd love to hear about it.

MacNuke commented on 2013-06-09 13:01 (UTC)

I am using Gnome which is using the cantarell font. When I install this package all GUI texts (Cantarell) are blurry. If I use the official cantarell-font package all these fonts are normal. Any ideas?

sebstar commented on 2013-06-01 18:55 (UTC)

in short, exactly that :) this applies to all vcs aur packages.
