I'm assuming that none of these apps are doing it on purpose, and that the problem is just with the default settings. (And then once I log in, everything is fine, because GNOME overrides the defaults.) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The ø character ( compose o / ) in urw-fonts "nimbus sans l condensed" is wrong at size 20, there I get an r with an inverted ^ above it. One way to reproduce: -start xfig (version 3.2.5-5, will hit rawhide / updates-testing soon). -Click on the T icon to start editing text -Left click somewhere in the canvas -Type compose o / -Middle click to indicate your done entering text -CTRL + e -left click the ø -select helvetica narrow, xfig maps this to: -urw-nimbus sans l condensed-medium-r-condensed-- -click apply, things should still be fine -change size to 20 -click apply, wrong character gets shown. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 437689] New: xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic is not exposed correctly

All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437689 Summary: xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic is not exposed correctly Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: xorg-x11-fonts AssignedTo: xgl-maint(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Description of problem: 1. xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic contains fonts in a modern TTF/OTF format. Those fonts need to be exposed in /usr/share/fonts and not /usr/share/X11/fonts for more apps to take advantage of them 2. the package contains two versions of the same font (in OTF and TTF format). This is likely to confuse apps so either drop one or make two separate conflicting packages so they're never installed at the same time on the same system. The OTF file appears to be the most complete one based on its size so I'd drop the TTF one (true all our apps do not support OTF fonts yet but they are becoming common enough apps should be fixed and TTf versions needn't be provided as workaround) 3. The package only contains the Goha-Tibeb Zemen font. It would be more user-friendly if it was renamed goha-tibeb-zemen-fonts Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic-7.2-6.fc9 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The spec for this font says " # original is http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/efont/10087/sazanami-20040629.tar.bz2 # due to Bug#196433, ttf has been modified and the tarball repacked Source0: sazanami-%{fontver}.tar.bz2 " if I locally revert to the original .tar.bz2 from http://iij.dl.sourceforge.jp/efont/10087/sazanami-20040629.tar.bz2 then the rendering look right. See: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92671 for discussion about this, and the suggestion that the hacky editing of the font has gone awry.
