fontique 0.11.1's Android backend never resolves GenericFamily::Monospace
(mono=None in the startup diagnostic, RUST.md's 2026-09-07 "Platform
fonts" gap): DEFAULT_GENERIC_FAMILIES looks up "monospace" against
name_map before fonts.xml is parsed into it, and even after parsing,
AOSP's fonts.xml names it with a <family name="monospace"> element whose
<font> children the backend's own parser never reads (a TODO left in
place) -- so the name gets a FamilyId with no font data behind it, and
family_by_name("monospace") comes back empty too. Confirmed still present
on linebender/parley's main branch, so there is no newer release to bump
to.
TextData::patch_android_monospace (Android-only, called from
TextData::default) reads fonts.xml's own "monospace" declaration for the
font filename it names, then finds which of fontique's actually-scanned
families owns a font file with that name and registers it as the
Monospace generic directly -- the same authority Compose's
Typeface.MONOSPACE resolves through, without pinning an OEM-specific
family name. Verified on this checkout's emulator:
mono=Some("Droid Sans Mono") in the startup log, and a screenshot showing
the bench-fixture's code block and tool-card values in a visibly
monospaced face beside sans body/heading text. Desktop's fontconfig
backend is unaffected.
