Re: installing more fonts by default for better international coverage

Hi Qianqian, Thanks for your mail. Qianqian Fang さんは書きました: > it is a great news for better font support on Fedora. I am curious if > it is possible to consider wqy-bitmap-fonts as the default desktop font > for Chinese locales? the bitmap glyphs were continuously improved > in the past ~3 years based on the embedded bitmaps in fonts-chinese > and the wqy-bitmapfont was widely used by simplified Chinese users. I think it is certainly worth considering. One way to get more input on this might be to run a user survey say asking the preferred default fonts for each language. BTW it so happens that currently we are working to move cjkunifonts and taipei-fonts out of fonts-chinese into separate packages: so now is a good time to start discussing this. > also, WenQuanYi Project plans to release a dual-width bitmap font > similar to GNU > Unifont, by merging about 28,000 16x16 new Chinese glyphs > with the latest release of Unifont (the Chinese glyphs in unifont is > neither complete nor optimized).

Are you planning to package it for Fedora when it is released? :-) Jens

Looking for co-maintainers for my packages
by Thorsten Leemhuis 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi all! now that the package-DB is in production (thanks for your work toshio!) it makes it a whole lot more easy to become co-maintainer or approve then. Thus I'd like to really find at least one (better two) co-maintainer for all of my packages now. Anyone interested? No, I don't want to put all the load on you, I just want to make sure someone feels responsible for my packages when I'm flying to the space again, get hit by a bus or are "away from keyboard" for other reasons. And sure, of course I'm willing to become co-maintainer for other packages in exchange. You can find a list of my packages (¹) at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/thl For easier reference I cut-n-past the list of relevant (¹) packages here: * atomix -- Little mind game where you have to build molecules out of atoms lying around * enigma -- Clone of the ATARI game Oxyd (²) * ghex -- A binary editor for GNOME * gsynaptics -- Settings tool for Synaptics touchpad driver(³) * gweled -- Swapping gem game * mail-notification -- Mail Notification is a status icon that informs you if you have new mail * python-crypto -- A cryptography library for Python * python-html2text -- Converts a page of HTML into clean, easy-to-read plain ASCII text * revelation -- Password manager for GNOME 2 (²)(³) * rss2email -- Deliver news from RSS feeds to your smtp server as text or html mail * tiobench -- Threaded I/O benchmark * websec -- Web Secretary - Web page monitoring software with highlighting CU knurd (¹) -- please not that the web-page also lists gmime and icu as mine; That's partly true, as I'm maintaining those for EPEL (I owned them myself ages ago when they were not yet moved to Core) (²) -- has one co-maintainer already (³) -- I don't use these packages these days. So If you use then and want to take them over just let me know.

update planed for lcms to 0.17 (static?!)
by Nicolas Chauvet 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi! There is new lcms version out and we plan to make the update. This will not bring any SONAME changes but a rebuild is recommended. I'm not sure to address all packages that BR lcms-devel. [root@Kwizatz SPECS]# repoquery --whatrequires liblcms.so.1 --repoid=core libmng-0:1.0.9-5.1.i386 kdegraphics-7:3.5.7-1.fc6.i386 ImageMagick-0:6.2.8.0-3.fc6.i386 ... If you can test your build. Please report fails or success: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/devel/lcms -static part browsing the web show that there is sometime a need to have static version of the lib... Whereas we should avoid linking with static most of the time. This Request have to be made to FESCo. I will only made -static if really needed... Nicolas (kwizart)

Development SIG -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Development
by Andrew Overholt 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi, We'd like to start a Development SIG with an eye towards making a "Fedora for Developers" spin. The goals for the moment boil down to: * Make Fedora a great development distribution "out of the box" by providing needed tools * Make it easy for developers to target Fedora * Make things easier for Fedora developers themselves We realize these are sort of open ended goals, but we hope to focus on showcasing some of the great tools we have in the distro by making them available and configured, etc. out of the box. There will of course be some editorial control in the cases of multiple tools and avoiding "everything and the kitchen sink" to differentiate from Fedora Everything. Since Eclipse is near and dear to some of our hearts, some lists of Eclipse-specific things we'd like to see done can be found at [1] and [2]. We are especially interested in bringing new developers into the Fedora family. We'd like to have regular IRC meetings on #fedora-meeting on Tuesdays at 18:00-19:00 UTC (2pm-3pm EDT) (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#IRC) . If the time really sucks for lots of people, we can easily change it. The first meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday 21 August 2007. The plan is to make the spin inherit from the Desktop spin and add the following (not an exhaustive list): . Eclipse stuff (most likely all of it) . koji . *-devel . systemtap . frysk . toolchain (gcc et al) . emacs . enable debuginfo repository We realize this will put us up to a DVD-sized image but we're cool with that. There is obviously a tonne to work out, but we're looking forward to working with lots of you on this.

Fedora can't get high resolution display in VMware
by zjsun 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi, I install the Fedora 6, 7, 8 Test on VMware work station 6.0, The highest resolution is 800x600. The visible area is so small it is not convevient for me to use. But the Ubuntu can get 1280x1024 or higher resolution. My display adapter is Nvidia 7600GS 256M. What is the difference between the X server of Ubuntu and Fedora? Can Fedora improve the that? Thanks a lot Best Regards Zongjun
