Summary: Fontconfig should select DejaVu font for rendering English, even in Japanese locale. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485566 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 AssignedTo: besfahbo(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: ryo-dairiki(a)users.sourceforge.net 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 "@". -- 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.

It is very annoying, because I use Japanese and sit on Japanese channel a lot.

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477477 Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: urw-fonts AssignedTo: than(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: than(a)redhat.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 843331] New: [ta_IN] Please add glyphs for minority orthographies in Tamil
by Red Hat Bugzilla 09 Nov '14

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843331 Bug ID: 843331 QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org Severity: unspecified Version: rawhide Priority: unspecified CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute(a)redhat.com Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Summary: [ta_IN] Please add glyphs for minority orthographies in Tamil Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Unspecified Reporter: samjnaa(a)gmail.com Type: Bug Documentation: --- Hardware: Unspecified Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: lohit-tamil-fonts Product: Fedora Created attachment 600434 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=600434&action=edit 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.webkit.org/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.

For each of those three, the italic version of the font (from the separate TTF file) is used. I can tell by the tail on the 'f' character. For bold text, however, an 'emboldening' algorithm seems to be used instead of using the appropriate separate font file. In GNOME font selection dialogs, I see just one 'Neo Sans Intel' family, with a choice of 8 styles. I'll ignore the italic versions since those do actually seem to work as expected, so there are four weights listed: - Light (== Neo Sans Intel Light) - Regular (== Neo Sans Intel Medium) - Medium (== Neo Sans Intel Medium) - Bold (== Neo Sans Intel Medium + emboldening algorithm?) I *don't* seem to have an option in GNOME which will just use the straight 'Neo Sans Intel' font. So both seem to be getting it wrong, in different ways. Or perhaps there's something wrong with the fonts themselves? -- 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.
