Summary: RFE: add a gfx preview to font packages
Product: PackageKit
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: General
AssignedTo: richard(a)hughsie.com
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
The best way for a user to select a font is to show it to him.
For this reason font sites commonly provide bitmap preview images or so-called
specimen files (typically in PDF form) that showcase the font capabilities.
http://gonzo.uni-weimar.de/~gerner/fonts/YanoneKaffeesatz.pdfhttp://www.ascendercorp.com/pdf/Droid_fonts.pdf
Packagekit should do the same.
The image should be a pangram
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pangrams
in the main unicode blocks the font supports
The specimen may include unicode coverage info, glyph table, etc
For more info ask on fedora-fonts-list at redhat.com

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)

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.

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_fonts_…
- 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_(2…http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_packagehttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_templatehttp://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 -

Summary: RFE: Add font autoinstallation support
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Text
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned(a)lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
The Linux platform is gaining an on-demand font autoinstallation framework (BSD
and Solaris will probably follow eventually).
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticFontInstallation
Webkit browsers should be plugged into it and use it to request the fonts the
pages they render need. This would have a huge user impact, especially for
pages that have strong i18n constrains.
Unlike proposals such as @font-face and EOT the fonts are sourced from trusted
user-controlled sources, are properly vetted legal-side, use the latest font
versions not old obsolete ones (with bug fixes), and are installed system-wide
where other apps can take advantage of them.

The Liberation fonts are missing the Greek Polytonic characters (Greek Extended
Unicode group).
In practical terms, the Greek Extended Unicode group is made of the Greek
characters with a variety of accents (they are precomposed characters).
This report is to track the process of adding support.
