[Bug 18726] New: RFE: help write locale-specific tests

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18726 Summary: RFE: help write locale-specific tests 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 there is often a need for font distributors to test if a font name is requested in a chinese, japanese or korean context. 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.

The filesystem maintainer has been asked to release the corresponding directories in bug #477046 Please rebuild fontconfig against fontpackages-devel to pick up the directory names it defines in macros, and depend on fontpackages-filesystem that owns the directories.

[Bug 18724] New: RFE: font merging

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.

[Bug 477418] New: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines

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=477418 Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: linux-libertine-fonts AssignedTo: frank(a)scirocco-5v-turbo.de ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: frank(a)scirocco-5v-turbo.de, kevin(a)tummy.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(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_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_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.

A recent audit run revealed that the number of packages bundling fonts is very high. (repoquery found 159 packages shipping fonts in rawhide, the 2/3rds not being font packages, see bug #477044) In many case their packagers were not even aware they were bundling fonts (bug #477406#c4). Some of them are licensing problems (477384#c4) To prevent such problems in the future, rpmlint should flag any package that installs ttf/otf/pfa/pfb fonts outside the %_fontbasedir tree, or bundle those files with binaries in /usr/bin, /usr/lib?? and such. Packages that include symlinks to files in the %_fontbasedir tree are ok, though they should also get a warning so upstream adds fontconfig support to its code (since it has near universal adoption and continuing to ignore fontconfig will only add to the packager problems in the long run) http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/34322/focus=34335 -- 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.
