[Bug 20120] New: Display font script coverage info in the UI
by bugzilla-daemon＠freedesktop.org
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20120
Summary: Display font script coverage info in the UI
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
To make fonts auto-install work coverage auto-provides are being added to font
packages.
However, those provides are not only useful for auto-installation.
Users are just as interested to know they can use a font package to render
Greek or Catalan or Arabic when browsing the package repository manually.
Please transform those provides in user-friendly information added to font
package descriptions in packagekit GUI frontends.

[Bug 18725] New: RFE: allow merging of legacy font family names
by bugzilla-daemon＠freedesktop.org
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18725
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)

[Bug 18723] New: RFE: fontconfig-level locl patching
by bugzilla-daemon＠freedesktop.org
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18723
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_font...
- 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_...
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 -

Summary: Fontconfig should select DejaVu font for rendering
English, even in Japanese locale.
Product: Fedora
Version: 10
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: medium
Component: fontconfig

QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: besfahbo(a)redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
As you know, fontconfig finds proper fonts for text rendering,
depending on locales of process and text to render.
It works properly in the most cases, but there are some sever cases.
For example, if you type only "@" or "}" in gedit,
it uses glyph of VLGothic in Japanese locale.
However, if you type "a" after the first character,
it changes one's mind to choose glyphs of DejaVu fonts.
It's very annoying for Japanese users.
In the worst cases, the width of the indentations of sourcecode seems
different.
(As the width of the " " glyphs are differ between VLGothic and DejaVu)
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login X11 as a Japanese.
2. Open gedit and change the configuration to use "Monospace".
3. Type "@" on the first line, and "@a" on the first line.
Actual results:
"@" seems differ between the two lines.
Expected results:
"@" seems the same between the two lines.
The same glyph should be used for rendering the two "@".

Gecko/2009020410 Fedora/3.0.6-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.6
I'm using irssi on gnome-terminal (Monospace font), after update Japanese fonts
changed, they're now much smaller (compared to latin), harder to read (some
ideograms are completely unreadable). It is very annoying, because I use
Japanese and sit on Japanese channel a lot. The change occured only in
terminal, in gEdit and other applications old fonts are still used for typing
(SCIM + Anthy) and displaying.
The change didn't affect everyone, some Fedora 10 still got old, simple and
readable fonts.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just try displaying any Japanese text.
