[Bug 1009650] New: Some Serbian glyphs seem to be Latin glyph

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009650 Bug ID: 1009650 Summary: Some Serbian glyphs seem to be Latin glyph Product: Fedora Version: 19 Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: alescesc1986(a)yahoo.it QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com Hello, I have a problem with Italic DE and GE: when I copy them from a pdf produced by XeLaTeX, they are pasted respectively as Latin G and I WITH MACRON. I'm puzzled, why does this happen? By the way, other Serbian glyphs aren't copied at all, but they told me this is XeLaTeX's fault, not font-dependent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013949 Bug ID: 1013949 Summary: Problematic shapes for some letters of the macedonian alphabet. Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: liberation-fonts Severity: high Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: pvelkovski(a)gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com Created attachment 805748 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=805748&action=edit Shoes how the letters look like, and what they should look like. Description of problem: The shape of the Regular (Normal) "Cyrillic macedonian small letter be" looks. It looks like the italic form minus the slant which is wrong! Also the letters "macedonian cyrilic ghe" and "macedonian cyrillic gje" look inconsistent in italic form. The "macedonian cyrilic gje" should look same as "macedonian cyrilic ghe" with an added accent. I'm attaching a pdf file that should explain the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

FontForge confirms this after opening LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf with SHA-256 = ea76595ed32ec4bb117fc715e393b4cca3d42cabe53101baec6bbbeb800fa26a. The glyph for U+266C BEAMED SIXTEENTH NOTES is correct. " The bug has been reported against version 2.00.1, ut I have checked with 1.07.3 and it is also present in this version.

[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.

[Bug 22338] New: Make fc-query warn about non-WWS compliant fonts

Respecting the WWS model is declaring fields 21 and 22 or 16 in 17 in ways that respect WWS (only weight, width and slant in sytles) This way we can point FLOSS authors to fc-query as linting tools and promote font naming our apps can handle easily -- 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.
