[Bug 18725] New: RFE: allow merging of legacy font family names

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18725 Summary: RFE: allow merging of legacy font family names Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: library AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Historically font formats only allowed four faces regular, bold, italic, bold italic. You had to use a separate font family to distribute condensed, heavy etc variants This has changed (cf http://blogs.msdn.com/text/attachment/2249036.ashx ) and modern fonts such as DejaVu include all faces under a single family name. Applications such as OO.o are being fixed to handle multifaced fonts Unfortunately there are still many historic fonts in the wild distributed in several sets of four faces (gs fonts, arial narrow, arial bold, etc). Those fonts currently appear under different family names in fontconfig-using apps. This is perturbing to users, since the same faces of historic and modern fonts are not handled the same way. Microsoft did some sort of magic in uniscribe to hide this distinction (irrelevant to users). Please provide a documented config pattern for font distributors that enables them to declare to fontconfig "font family A and font family B are the same, please expose all the associated faces under A name to users". (of course an application asking explicitely for B should still get it, but users would only see A in font lists) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 18723] New: RFE: fontconfig-level locl patching

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18723 Summary: RFE: fontconfig-level locl patching Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: library AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Due to Han unification and other similar stuff parts of some fonts may not be suitable for all locales. This is handled by the locl flag in modern opentype fonts. However there are still many non-opentype fonts in the wild, and it is not possible to convert them all at once (when the license permits it). There should be a way in fontconfig for font distributors to patch in via a config file the locl characteristics of a font. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, there are many chinese locales and writing an exact match is not possible. The current pattern (used by Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc) in this case is <test compare="contains" name="lang"> <string>zh</string> </test> but we do not really want to match every locale containing "ze". We want to match every ze-foo locale, not jze-foo or foo-ze Please add a documented fonts.conf pattern to fontconfig that allows distributors to specify such an exact match. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 18470] New: conf.avail can be considered an FHS violation

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18470 Summary: conf.avail can be considered an FHS violation Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: conf AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com As explained in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2008-October/003030.html conf.avail can be considered an FHS violation Can it be moved somewhere in /usr/share? We'd like to make font packages use the conf.d/conf.avail split in Fedora 11 but our package auditing tools do not like an /etc/fonts/conf.avail read-only directory at all, strongly hinting the current default should be changed. And if it has to be changed we'd rather it was changed before scores of packages depend on the current default. Fedora 11 packaging cycle will open soonish. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18724 Summary: RFE: font merging Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: library AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Several major fonts like Arial and Droid Sans are created in two parts: a core multifaced part and an Unicode extension (Arial Unicode, Droid Sans Fallback). Splitting in two file sets allows people who do not need the extension part to avoid installing it (since the extension is usually huge) For historic reasons the two parts use different font family names, even though from a functional user POW they are just two components of a single family. There should be a documented way in fontconfig for font distributors to specify via a config file "font foo is an extension of font bar, use it preferably when bar is missing glyphs, do not show it as a separate item in font lists and only allow access to the foo family when an application asks explicitely for it" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
