New Hebrew glyphs I designed
The Hebrew version of Liberation Sans currently uses glyphs from Droid Sans
Hebrew. These glyphs have incorrect proportions, weird letter forms and it's
generally unreadable. In addition, it go along with the Latin glyphs nicely.
I've previously solved the same problem with DejaVu Sans Hebrew by redesigning
it and I'd be more than happy to contribute an entirely new Hebrew glyphset for
Liberation Sans.
I included a Work-in-Progess of new Hebrew glyphs designed to match the design
of the Latin Liberation Sans in style, weight and proportions.

Description of problem:
bitmap-fangsongti-fonts causes fontconfig to exercise some very bad codepaths
on upgrades.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontconfig-2.8.0
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have bitmap-fangsongti-fonts installed
2. Be running a desktop
3. Do some upgrade that causes '/usr/bin/fc-cache /usr/share/fonts/bitmap' to
run
Actual results:
Most every fontconfig app on the system (kde4d, notification area applets,
gnome-settings-daemon, and others) suddenly start using 100% cpu. The fc-cache
call takes a *very* long time to complete.
Expected results:
Not that.

Target Release: ---
Description of problem:
In pango (tested it in gedit and firefox), the deletion with DELETE key, is not
following the rule of deleting entire composed character with a single key
press. It is deleting each of the character in a composed character, one by
one.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.28.0-1.fc13.i686
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gedit or firefox in mr_IN locale
2. Activate ibus with CTRL+SPACE. Select marathi - Inscript
3. Type : kdk (which means consonant KA + Halant + Consonant KA)
4. Position the cursor at the beginning point of the composed character.
5. Now, press DELETE key. (It needs 3 key strokes to delete the whole
character, but it should be done with a single key stroke in fact)
Actual results:
Delete composed character is happening in wrong manner. Actually it is now
following the convention (Rule) of BACKSPACE, when deleting a composed
character comes into picture.
Expected results:
It should delete the whole composed character in one DELETE key stroke when
cursor positions at the start of the composed character.

microchip pdf showing the fault
Description of problem:
When reading technical pdfs, the wrong symbols are displayed for some math
characters. e.g. pi is displayed as not equal, ohms as a vertical bar, and
micro (mu) is displayed as infinity.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
okular-4.9.5.-1.fc18
How reproducible:
Displaying a technical pdf such as
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00954A.pdf
shows the wrong symbols.
E.G. In figure 1 - the value for C2 is displayed as 470 (inf) F instead of 470
(mu) F
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Display technical pdf
2.
3.
Actual results:
pi is displayed as not equals
ohms as a vertical bar
micro(mu) as infinity
Expected results:
The correct symbols should be displayed
Additional info:
Evince also has this problem, but emacs displays everything correctly.
This happens across a range of pdfs and I think is a serious bug than needs
fixing as soon as possible,. It reflects badly on fedora if we cannot display
technical specifications properly.
--- Additional comment from Kevin Kofler on 2013-01-19 12:47:09 EST ---
> Evince also has this problem
Reassigning to poppler, which is the common library used by both.
What I see is that this PDF does not embed its fonts, which means you get
whatever fonts are installed on the system. In this case, Symbol is mapped to
wine-symbol-fonts. So I'm not sure whether poppler or the font is doing the
wrong thing there.
And by the way, the PDF is bad because it uses a font outside of the PostScript
standard (Symbol) and doesn't embed it. A portable PDF MUST embed all the
non-PostScript fonts it uses.
--- Additional comment from Richard Kennedy on 2013-02-28 07:57:45 EST ---
Just a quick update.
The new embedded pdf reader in Firefox 19 displays these files correctly too.
Well, the pdf may not be correct but it was created by adobe software & there
are lots of them out in the wild, so we should do something to fix it.
Can I change the default font mapping for popper to something else ? If so how
do I go about that?
--- Additional comment from Kevin Kofler on 2013-02-28 19:00:01 EST ---
As I said, it's a bug in either poppler or wine-symbol-fonts (or both).
Unfortunately, the poppler maintainer hasn't answered so far.
--- Additional comment from Marek Kašík on 2013-03-01 07:05:38 EST ---
Hi,
this is a bug in wine-symbol-fonts package. The symbol.ttf font has wrong
mapping.
For additional info see upstream bug
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24099.
I'm reassigning this to wine.
Regards
Marek
--- Additional comment from Jason Tibbitts on 2013-03-01 14:45:34 EST ---
Wow, it's great news that this the cause is known, because I've been struggling
with this for some time. Unfortunately upstream bug report has been there for
quite some time with no progress, so I'm not sure what chance we have of
getting this fixed. What would break by removing this font? Can it be removed
from the dependency list of the wine-fonts metapackage?
--- Additional comment from Kevin Kofler on 2013-03-01 17:53:16 EST ---
Would that really fix the issue? I don't think the symbols can be properly
displayed if the font is entirely missing. I suspect there's no way around
fixing the font.
--- Additional comment from Richard Kennedy on 2013-03-02 11:50:34 EST ---
I've just fixed the font following the steps in the wine bug 24099 and it
works.
I only run one wine app, ltspice, and it still works after the fix, so it's all
looking good.
Both firefox & emacs can display these characters properly so they must be
using some other font, but I don't know how to find out which one. But if we
could find out can we swap the mapping to that?
--- Additional comment from Richard Kennedy on 2013-03-02 13:29:50 EST ---
Having thought about this some more, I think that is more likely that the bug
really is that poppler isn't handling unicode characters properly.
I cut & pasted the failing mu character from evince into emacs, and it says
it's unicode 0x3BC. So it seems that poppler tries to use the symbol font and
0x3BC
is something different in there because it's broken too.
emacs and firefox somehow resolve the unicode character correctly and don't end
up in the symbol font, but I haven't found out which font they do use.
I didn't realise all of this stuff was so involved and complex. At least fixing
up the font is a temporary fix.
--- Additional comment from Kevin Kofler on 2013-03-02 17:58:39 EST ---
Maybe poppler shouldn't be looking up "Symbol" in fontconfig at all, but handle
the Symbol font specially? The Window$ Symbol TTF font which WINE's font tries
to emulate is a hack which predates Unicode and maps Greek letters and other
symbol characters to plain 8-bit characters (0-255). Somebody should probably
test what happens when you use the original M$ Symbol.ttf. If it has the same
issue, it's not WINE's fault.
--- Additional comment from Richard Kennedy on 2013-03-04 12:44:39 EST ---
Just a couple of notes :-
* The poppler version here is 0.20.2 which was released on Tue July 10, 2012,
and
the latest is 0.22.1 which contains quite a number of bug fixes.
* I've reset my machine to the default state and if I run pdftohtml on this
file
the correct characters are generated in the html. (pdftohtml is a poppler
tool).
* Libre Office also can display these files correctly.
Is there any way to get poppler to use the opensymobol font to resolve these
symbols? AFAICT opensymbol contains all of the correct unicode so might make a
good replacement and it's already installed.

The poppler-0.22.1 doesn't fix this.

It generates correct html because the codes for those characters are correct in
the pdf.
> * Libre Office also can display these files correctly.
Do you mean the html or the pdf? Libre Office displays me the same characters
as poppler when importing the pdf.

Place the attached file to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf. This will blacklist
the font for all applications which use fontconfig (useful when the
wine-symbol-fonts is a dependency of a package which you don't want to remove).
I've tried to view a file with the character for the micro sign (UTF-8 code
0xC2B5) in notepad which is part of wine-common. After switching the font to
"Symbol", it showed me the incorrect symbol. I guess that there is really
something wrong with the font.
Regards
Marek
--- Additional comment from Kevin Kofler on 2013-03-05 10:00:50 EST ---
The problem is that the Symbol font was designed in a way that the 'm'
character is displayed as 'µ', and 'µ' is not mapped to anything. In fact,
Symbol was the way to get those special characters in old software which didn't
support Unicode. I don't know whether it's possible to fix this issue without
breaking that old software when people try to run it under WINE. I hope it's
possible, but I'm not sure. The WINE upstream bug report has a proposed fix,
but I don't know whether that fix doesn't break the non-Unicode apps.
--- Additional comment from Andreas Bierfert on 2013-03-05 14:55:02 EST ---
Well as a workaround we could confine wine symbol to wine for now (like with
tahoma). This would reduce the problem to wine applications.
Before resorting to this I will investigate a bit...

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.

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
