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.

[Bug 436505] New: condensed Nimbus fonts inaccessible to applications
by Red Hat Bugzilla 14 Jul '09

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436505 Summary: condensed Nimbus fonts inaccessible to applications Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: urw-fonts AssignedTo: than(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: rdtennent(a)hotmail.com QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Description of problem: The urw-fonts package includes four Type 1 fonts with FamilyName Nimbus Sans L with Condensed in the FullName. But most current applications cannot deal with Condensed, so these fonts are simply inaccessible to them. In particular, browsers like Firefox and Konqueror do not recognize them and so web authors have no way to specify them on web pages. This is unfortunate because these fonts are installed on virtually every Linux system and there is no other condensed sans font that is widely installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4-3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to select Nimbus Sans L Condensed. 2. 3. Actual results: Can't be selected. Expected results: Can select them. Additional info: There seem to be three approaches to this problem. One is to insist that every application deal with condensed/expanded fonts in the same way that they deal with bold/italic/etc. This is a good long-term solution. A short-term solution is to hack the fonts in question so that their FamilyName is Nimbus Sans L Condensed; this has already been adopted by Mandriva and, apparently, Suse: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=367188 Another is use fontconfig to achieve the same, as in <match target="scan"> <test name="family" compare="eq"> <string>Nimbus Sans L</string> </test> <test name="width" compare="eq"> <int>75</int> </test> <edit name="family" mode="assign"> <string>Nimbus Sans L Condensed</string> </edit> </match> or variants thereof. I'll attach a simple html file which illustrates the problem. In any browser on Fedora, the two lines will be in the same fonts. When the font files are patched as suggestedb or the fontconfig snippet above installed, condensed fonts are used for the second line. ------- Additional Comments From rdtennent(a)hotmail.com 2008-03-07 11:58 EST ------- Created an attachment (id=297217) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=297217&action=view) Test file to illustrate inaccessibility of condensed fonts in browsers. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
