Screen shot of office writer document with different size fonts in same
families.
Description of problem:
On my fedora 15 system, the fonts all render terribly by default, being
completely thin and spindly. After much investigation, I find various
settings down in the /etc/fonts config files to do things like turn
off hinting for fonts smaller than 7.5 (what units 7.5 are in, I'm not
sure), but in fact hinting seems to be turned off for fonts up to
point size 13 as the attached screenshot of a libreoffice document
seems to show.
So many pieces are involved in font rendering, I don't know for sure
if pango is the right component for this, but it is my best guess.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.28.4-1.fc15.x86_64
cairo-1.10.2-3.fc15.x86_64
fontconfig-2.8.0-3.fc15.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See screenshot of office writer image
2.
3.
Actual results:
All fonts 13 points and under rendered incredibly spindly.
Expected results:
Better font rendering.

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 "@".

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.
This is the update, that probably changed fonts:

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 -
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

Glyphs required for minority orthographies in Tamil
While the Tamil script is mainly used for writing Tamil language text, it is
also attested to be used for other language text such as Sanskrit, Saurashtra,
Hindi, Marathi, Telugu and Kannada in the form of transliteration.
For these minority orthography usecases, some characters from script-neutral
blocks are required:
1) The superscript digits ¹²³⁴ would be used for representing the varga
consonants (actually ¹ is only used very rarely). The Unicode chapter on Tamil
script documents this and recommends the characters (0xb9) 0xb2 0xb3 0x2074.
2) Not only the superscript digits but their corresponding subscript digits
₁₂₃₄ (0x2081-0x2084) are also attested as a stylistic variant choice.
3) The modifier letter apostrophe 02BC ʼ is also seen.
4) Further, sometimes the candrabindu is also seen for nasality. Since there is
no Tamil candrabindu character, the generic candrabindu ◌̐ at 0310 can be
used.
5) The visarga is commonly seen but the Tamil visarga code point 0B83 is mapped
to the Tamil special letter aytam ஃ (which has three dots against the visarga's
two dots), so we will have to place the two-dot visarga in the PUA. (Not ideal
I know, but it is unlikely to encode a Tamil-specific two-dot visarga. It is
not possible to use the Devanagari visarga codepoint 0903 since rendering
engines will produce dotted circles as it is not correct to combine Devanagari
codepoints with Tamil codepoints.)
Attestations for these usages and required glyphs are attached. Please add them
with the appropriate script-neutral codepoints shown in the patch TTF so Lohit
Tamil (and Lohit Tamil Classical) is also useful for these minority
orthographies. BTW it would be good font design policy to make the modifier
apostrophe a composite glyph of the regular apostrophe and subscript digits as
composites of superscript digits.

by bugzilla-daemon＠webkit.org

Summary: RFE: Add font autoinstallation support
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Text
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned(a)lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
The Linux platform is gaining an on-demand font autoinstallation framework (BSD
and Solaris will probably follow eventually).
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticFontInstallation
Webkit browsers should be plugged into it and use it to request the fonts the
pages they render need. This would have a huge user impact, especially for
pages that have strong i18n constrains.
Unlike proposals such as @font-face and EOT the fonts are sourced from trusted
user-controlled sources, are properly vetted legal-side, use the latest font
versions not old obsolete ones (with bug fixes), and are installed system-wide
where other apps can take advantage of them.
