F36 Change: Default To Noto Fonts

  In most of Linux distributions the standard Hunspell dictionary path is */usr/share/hunspell* but in Fedora we were still having */usr/share/myspell*. This change now installed all hunspell dictionary files into */usr/share/hunspell* directory path instead of */usr/share/myspell* path. The hunspell-filesystem package has been made to provide both paths installed on the system.

  

  All applications in Fedora using old directory path */usr/share/myspell* has been changed to use new directory path */usr/share/hunspell* so that spell checking functionality in them will continue to work as it worked before with old dictionary path.

+ == Default To Noto Fonts

+ The default fonts has been updated to the Google Noto fonts which is higher quality and support variable fonts for most scripts, making them more compact. this change also provides consistent text rendering across more languages by replacing DejaVu with Noto as the general system default set of fonts.

+ 

+ The font packages will be installed/updated through langpacks as well as particular script specific fonts and extra variants, such as serif and monospaced fonts.
