[Bug 18928] New: RFE: add a gfx preview to font packages
by bugzilla-daemon＠freedesktop.org 21 Aug '18

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18928 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.pdf http://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 -- 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.

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. -- 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 18725] New: RFE: allow merging of legacy font family names

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) -- 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 18723] New: RFE: fontconfig-level locl patching

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. -- 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.
