[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.

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.

[Bug 477606] New: RFE: warn on fonts installed outside %_fontbasedir

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.

Summary: Liberation Mono: incorrect spacing for Combining Diacritical Marks. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487581 Summary: Liberation Mono: incorrect spacing for Combining Diacritical Marks. Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: cchance(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: adam.buchbinder(a)gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: cchance(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6 According to the bug on freedesktop.org (link below), Liberation Mono has an incorrect spacing definition for "Combining Diacritical Marks"; they should have zero space, and should render above the last letter, not the next one. Paste following text with selected font: Correct: accent above o Incorrect: accent above g Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a string with a combining diacritic mark in Liberation Mono, e.g., "o̍g". Don't use gnome-terminal; it relies on vte, which doesn't handle combining characters. Use something like gedit; switching fonts will reveal the issue as the diacritical mark switches places. Actual Results: The diacritic appears one letter to the right of where it should be. Expected Results: The diacritic should appear in the proper place. I'm using ttf-liberation 1.04.93-1 on Ubuntu Intrepid; I'm filing this as an upstream bug. If this should be filed elsewhere, please let me know. I'm filing this because several monospace fonts have incorrect spacing for "Combining Diacritical Marks": http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20330 -- 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.

One could wonder: a) why is the 32 bit cache different from the 64 bit? b) why isn't fontconfig keeping them both uptodate? but I have a simpler request: "man fc-cache" states: Note that fc-cache must be executed once per architecture to generate font information customized for that architecture. but it isn't possible to do this on x86_64 because only the 64 bit version of /usr/bin/fc-cache is installed, even if both i386 and x86_64 fontconfig rpms are installed. ** Request that /usr/bin/fc-cache-64 and /usr/bin/fc-cache-32 both be installed, and that a new /usr/bin/fc-cache shell script be created that runs them both. The man page also says: On a subsequent run, fc-cache will augment the cache information files with the information for the new architecture. but apparently this didn't work through some series of font rpm upgrades. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.6.95-1.git.66.gb162bfb.fc11 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /var/cache/fontconfig 2. rm * 3. fc-cache Actual results: Only *x86-64.cache-2 files created Expected results: Both *x86.cache-2 and *x86-64.cache-2 files created Additional info: Any ugly workaround to the current situation is: rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches fontconfig fontconfig-devel yum install fontconfig.i386 fc-cache yum install fontconfig.x86_64 fontconfig-devel.x86_64 fc-cache -- 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.

Summary: fonts.dir refers to non-existent .bdf files, breaking accesses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466029 Summary: fonts.dir refers to non-existent .bdf files, breaking accesses Product: Fedora Version: 9 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: fonts-KOI8-R AssignedTo: than(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: goeran(a)uddeborg.se QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: than(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: The file /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc/fonts.dir contains two entries for each font, one for the pcf.gz file and one for a bdf file that isn't included in the package. Apparently, the presence of the bdf entry breaks accesses to these fonts. As an example, it contains: 9x15s.bdf -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-ub 9x15s.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-ub Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-10.fc8.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fonts-KOI8-R 2. xfd -fn 9x15 Actual results: Warning: Cannot convert string "9x15" to type FontStruct xfd: no font to display Expected results: A window with the font displayed. Additional info: The bug can be avoided by rerunning mkfontdir in /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc. (And trigger the X server to reread its font files.) But there is no RPM script or other automatic way this is done. It must be done "by hand" after installation by the system administrator.
