[Bug 477445] [python-matplotlib] Please convert to new font packaging guidelines

by Red Hat Bugzilla

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477445 --- Comment #10 from Nicolas Mailhot <nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net> 2009-07-07 10:20:37 EDT --- (In reply to comment #9) > Unfortunately now Matplotlib doesn't work properly with STIX fonts (as included > in the upstream matplotlib package for scientific graphs) since the Fedora > supplied ones are in OpenType format rather than TTF (as supplied by > Matplotlib). Stix upstream is OpenType CFF only. They've promised to look at OpenType TT in the next version, but who knows when it will be released. So our Stix font packages are unlikely to include OpenType TT any time soon (and even if Stix finaly releases OpenType TT versions I don't think we really want to package two versions of the same fonts, they are huge and that only encourages app authors not to fix their font support. CTAN made the mistake of encouraging the packaging of fonts in multiple formats and as a result is stuck with all of them since now people got used not having to support newer formats). In the very short term the matplotlib maintainer will probably have to package the built-in Stix TTFs as proper matplotlib font subpackages. But do remember this is not a sustainable workaround since it has the exact same drawbacks as private libs and we'll ask to kill them in later Fedora releases. > Matplotlib is unable to do font subsetting on OTF fonts Well, that's a big matplotlib issue, OpenType CFF is one of the three major modern font formats (with OpenType TT and Apple AAT, but rumors are Apple is realising it can't sustain AAT alone when everyone else chose OpenType), and it's the default in many font creation tools, so it will become more and more common. Please work with upstream so they fix their font backend (or switch to modern font libs such as fontconfig/cairo/poppler that can handle modern fonts) > and it's fallback > option of including the whole font doesn't appear to work (the resulting PDF > doesn't have any text...). That's strange since Opentype CFF is Adobe's child as PDF, so it's probably the most PDF-friendly modern font format. But Stix does all kinds of unusual and complex things. It's not a simple font set (all the more reason not to ship different variants that will have subtle conversion problems) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 477453] New: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines

by Red Hat Bugzilla

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477453 Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: sazanami-fonts AssignedTo: tagoh(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: tagoh(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or several font files: repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb' -f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e 's+-[0-9.-]*\.fc[123456789]\(.*\)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq Unfortunately the script does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can close this bug report now. Otherwise, you should know that: - Fedora guidelines demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package or subpackage: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_font... - our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel package. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts Please make your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide. If your package is not principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed in the correct fontconfig directories. It is preferred to make a font package or subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a font family is given on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family The new templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe. The following packages have already been converted and can serve as examples: - andika-fonts - apanov-heuristica-fonts - bitstream-vera-fonts - charis-fonts - dejavu-fonts - ecolier-court-fonts - edrip-fonts - gfs-ambrosia-fonts - gfs-artemisia-fonts - gfs-baskerville-fonts - gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts - gfs-bodoni-fonts - gfs-complutum-fonts - gfs-didot-classic-fonts - gfs-didot-fonts - gfs-eustace-fonts - gfs-fleischman-fonts - gfs-garaldus-fonts - gfs-gazis-fonts - gfs-jackson-fonts - gfs-neohellenic-fonts - gfs-nicefore-fonts - gfs-olga-fonts - gfs-porson-fonts - gfs-solomos-fonts - gfs-theokritos-fonts - stix-fonts - yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts If you have any remaining questions about the new guidelines please ask them on fedora-fonts-list at redhat.com -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
