Summary: Add VAG Rounded aliases to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472835 Summary: Add VAG Rounded aliases to Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: mgopen-fonts AssignedTo: paskalis(a)di.uoa.gr ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: paskalis(a)di.uoa.gr, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Blocks: 446451 Classification: Fedora Description of problem: According to discussions on the Open Font Library List Modata is a derivative of the well-known VAG Rounded font Volkwagen AG put in the public domain when it had no longer use of it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAG_Rounded http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/openfontlibrary/2008-November/001559.… Therefore, the Fedora package shipping Modata should include aliasing rules that tell fontconfig to use Modata when it encounters a document or web page using VAG Rounded or one of its derivatives (it seems VAG rounded was good enough every proprietary foundry jumped on it when it was PDed and created their own version). Common font names used by VAG derivatives are "VAG Rounded Std" "VAG Rundschrift" "VAG Rounded" This can be done at the time the package is converted to new F11 packaging guidelines if FPC approves http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation -- 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 18728] New: RFE: allow direct query of font files

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18728 Summary: RFE: allow direct query of font files Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: fc-list AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Fontconfig can give you a lot of information about installed fonts. Unfortunately that requires installation in the first place and does not help people that just want to check the capabilities of a set of font files before installing them. To take an analogy, rpm has a query flag that will work on all the installed package base, but you can also ask it to examine a set of uninstalled packages using the -p flag (rpm -q -p /tmp/foo*rpm) Please enhance fontconfig utilities so it is possible to make them introspect a set of on-disk font files instead of working on the fonts installed on the system. -- 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 458592] New: Different render in the original and 1.0.4 version

Summary: Different render in the original and 1.0.4 version https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458592 Summary: Different render in the original and 1.0.4 version Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: cchance(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: beuc(a)beuc.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Description of problem: I was using the LiberationSans version from the original announcement at https://www.redhat.com/f/fonts/liberation-fonts-ttf-3.tar.gz (now 404). I replaced it with 1.0.4 from https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ . I use this fonts in a game engine that is ported from Windows, and that was using Arial originally. The font rendering is done through SDL_ttf (with style TTF_STYLE_BOLD) which itself called libfreetype6. The new version of the font has a decreased quality. I attach 2 screenshots with the 2 different versions. Check for example the "y": the top of the letter isn't aligned with the top of the other letters. Note that the screenshots are taken from Debian Lenny, whose libfreetype6 has TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER activated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: The game is in development, I don't have a short procedure to install the game right now, but let me know if you're interested in that. Actual results: Irregular letters. Apparent regression in font quality. Expected results: Improved quality ;) Additional info: -- 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.
