[Bug 22621] New: RFE: Add font autoinstallation support

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22621 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. -- 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.

Well, what the packaging guidelines actually say is that you shouldn't install any font without using fontpackages-devel templates and macros or splitting fonts per family, which means all font packages have the same implementation and there is no risk of single-package regression. I appreciate that ghostscript antedates the consolidation work that went into current font packaging guidelines, but maybe it's time to align it with them? Also TEX people have spent many years cleaning up and modernizing gs fonts. It would be worthwhile to package the tex gyre family and use them as replacement, dropping all legacy font formats and core font calls. I *think* tex gyre licensing is finally clean and safe (but you'd need to check with spot) --- Additional comment from Tim Waugh on 2013-10-22 06:15:13 EDT --- That's a fair point. :-) That work might have to be done in step with urw-fonts. --- Additional comment from Fedora Update System on 2013-10-22 06:27:51 EDT --- ghostscript-fonts-5.50-32.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-32.fc19 --- Additional comment from Fedora Update System on 2013-10-22 06:28:34 EDT --- ghostscript-fonts-5.50-32.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-32.fc20 --- Additional comment from Fedora Update System on 2013-10-22 14:51:18 EDT --- Package ghostscript-fonts-5.50-32.fc20: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 20 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1051083 Bug ID: 1051083 Summary: Huge text rendered incorrectly Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: pango Severity: low Priority: low Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com Reporter: amahdal(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, tagoh(a)redhat.com Created attachment 847731 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=847731&action=edit incorrect rendering (500K, all visible characters affected) Description of problem: When I open this (quite strange, I admit) file: * ASCII plain text * only dollar signs (no whitespace whatsoever, reproduces with other chars as well) * large number of them (over 320K in my case) in Mousepad, which uses pango, rendering issues appear. Specifically, characters appear doubled, with these "ghosts" being few pixels offset. I have tested this on Fedora 20 with Mousepad and Leafpad, both being simplistic GUI plain text editors and both using Pango. Hence I'm reporting this to Pango. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pango-1.36.1-1.fc20.x86_64 mousepad-0.3.0-3.fc20.x86_64 leafpad-0.8.18.1-10.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: always - with specifically prepared (abnormal) file Steps to Reproduce: 1. Let N be a large number, 500 thousand or so (see below) 2. Create a plain text file comprised of N identical non-whitespace characters 3. Open the file in Mousepad or Leafpad Actual results: Characters are rendered incorrectly, some/all glyphs have a "ghost" with small offset Expected results: Characters should be displayed normally. Additional info: Exploring the exact border (N) where the problem appears: * with 322,639 characters, the text still looks OK * with 322,640 characters, first character has this "ghost" * with 322,641 characters, first *two* characters have this "ghost" * ...etc. I have also quick-tested this with other characters like "a", and the same problem appears. I haven't tested with mixed files or with whitespace, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
