Description of problem:
The liberation fonts have a strange glyph for the lowercase Greek gamma letter
whenever hinting is on. The hinting makes the glyph look similar to the 'y'
letter (the bottom part tends towards left).
This looks weird and is unique on this font family, AFAIK.

testcase with the problematic font charakteristics
Wikipedia recently switched to a predefined CSS font stack for body font so
even Windows users will be served with Liberation Sans if installed (e.g.
because it is distributed with Libre Office).
This made apparent inferior hinting of Liberation Sans with bold weight when
rendered at the specific size of 0.875em (the font size used in MediaWiki's
vector skin).
Most notable "e"s have a very thick lower curve while the upper curve is much
too thin. This also applies for variants like "è é ê ë". Funnily not for "œ æ"
though which is rendered differently.
Also notable is e.g. "s" which has thick upper/lower curves but is thin in the
middle.
A testcase with the described font characteristics set is attached. The
screenshot shows the rendering in Firefox.
The screenshot was created with Firefox 28.0 on Windows 7.
The installed version of the Liberation fonts is 2.00.1

[google-droid-sans-fonts] package is broken since F18. I want to select 'Droid
Sans' font for KDE UI, but this font is displayed twice at [systemsettings]:
with [unknown] and [monotype] suffixes. If I apply anyone of them, only KDE/Qt
apps use 'Droid Sans' font, but GTK2/GTK3 apps use the defaul font (DejaVu
Sans).

[Bug 1169979] New: Some fonts not in fontconfig cache on Fedora 21 live images
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1169979
Bug ID: 1169979
Summary: Some fonts not in fontconfig cache on Fedora 21 live
images
Product: Fedora
Version: 21
Component: fontconfig
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: awilliam(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

tagoh(a)redhat.com
We've spotted an issue with Fedora 21 live images where some installed fonts
appear to be missing from the fontconfig cache in the live environment. An
'fc-cache -f' fixes this. For instance, on the Fedora 21 Final RC2 Workstation
x86_64 live:
[root@localhost liveuser]# fc-list | wc -l
141
[root@localhost liveuser]# fc-cache --force
[root@localhost liveuser]# fc-list | wc -l
159
The specific fonts that are missing on that image are:
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Bold Oblique
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold

The log of the compose is here:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5463/8275463/root.log
In comparison, the i686 Workstation live is 'missing' only
/usr/share/fonts/google-noto/NotoSansTaiViet-Regular.ttf: Noto Sans Tai
Viet:style=Regular
its compose log is here:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5460/8275460/root.log
to me, it appears the affected cases are ones where more than one package
contains fonts in the same directory, for packages installed *after* the
fontconfig package. The fontconfig package has an 'fc-cache -f' in its %post,
so any inconsistencies that exist before it's installed get fixed by that.
My first thesis was 'for any given directory, only fonts from the first package
installed after fontconfig will make it to the cache, fonts in the same
directory from subsequently-installed packages won't be added'. But it doesn't
seem to be that simple, because some fonts in /usr/share/fonts/google-noto
*are* added - the first 'noto' package installed is google-noto-sans-lisu-fonts
, and after that several more noto packages are installed. The fonts from
google-noto-sans-mandaic-fonts, google-noto-sans-meeteimayek-fonts , and
google-noto-sans-tai-tham-fonts *do* get added to the cache - but the fonts
from google-noto-sans-tagalog-fonts and google-noto-sans-tai-viet-fonts do
*not* get added. It's quite odd.
This is a fairly bad bug because of its impact on DejaVu Sans Mono: this is the
default monospace font for both Workstation and KDE (and I think the
non-blocking spins too). Its absence from the cache results in them using
Nimbus Mono L as their monospace fonts, which is a pretty crappy font, ugly and
hard to read. The workaround is easy once you know it, but if you don't, you
just think we have a really bad font.
There's an easy big hammer workaround we can use for a quick rebuild of the RC2
lives, if we like:
--- a/fedora-live-base.ks
+++ b/fedora-live-base.ks
@@ -299,6 +299,12 @@ rm -f /core*
# convince readahead not to collect
# FIXME: for systemd
+# forcibly regenerate fontconfig cache (so long as this live image has
+# fontconfig) - see #XXXXXXX
+if [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ] ; then
+ fc-cache -f
+fi
+
%end
i.e., just do an fc-cache -f at the end of live generation %post. I've tested
that locally, and it works, the generated Workstation image has 159 fonts in
fc-list (I also generated an image with the exact same config and build host,
but no change to spin-kickstarts, to verify that it reproduced the bug, and it
does).
The real fix should likely be in fc-cache, but the spin-kickstarts workaround
would solve this problem for F21.
I think fc-cache's behaviour must have changed between F20 and F21, as F20
doesn't appear to be affected by this at all, at least not the x86_64 desktop
live. All F21 images I've tested seem to be affected to some extent, though the
exact affected fonts vary depending on the package install order that yum
decided on.

Screenshot for chillu conjuncts
Description of problem:
When chillu conjuncts are followed by any punctuation marks like "!", ".", ",",
"'", "?" or SPACE, ie when a word ends with a chillu conjunct, and followed by
a punctuation mark or a SPACE, using Backspace to delete the punctuation mark
or SPACE results in the deletion of chillu conjunct together with the
punctuation mark/SPACE.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango 1.26.0-1.fc12 i686
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gedit
2. type any of chillu conjunct, eg: 0D28, 0D4D, 200D
OR
type a word ending with chillu conjunct, eg: 0D05, 0D35, 0D28, 0D4D, 200D
3. type any punctuation marks like "!", ".", ",", "'", "?" or SPACE
4. Press Backspace
Actual results:
When using Backspace after chillu conjunct followed by punctuation mark or
SPACE, instead of deleting punctuation mark or SPACE only, the chillu conjunct
also gets deleted.
Expected results:
When using Backspace after chillu conjunct followed by punctuation mark or
SPACE, only the punctuation mark/SPACE should get deleted.
Additional info:
1. This does not happen when chillu comes in between a word. eg: നന്മ (0D28,
0D28, 0D4D, 200D, 0D2E)
2. This issue is not present in oowriter and kwrite. When above steps are
reproduced, deletions happens in correct order.
Versions used:
libicu-4.2.1-6.fc12 i686
qt-4.5.2-22.fc12 i686

Summary: [RFE] Allow wildcards/regexps in rpm deps

Classification: Fedora
(this is mostly a yum-level RFE, but it would be nice if we kept the same
depsolving logic in both apps)
The problem:
Selecting a font is a multi-criterium operation. We need to match on font
family, font style, language support, unicode support, etc. At any time all of
just some of those selection criterii can be provided by the user or
applications.
To have features like font auto-installation work reliably, this matching needs
to extend to the package database
Right now rpm is only allowing to specify atomic provides, so we can have a
font package that
Provides font(dejavusans)
and
Provides
font(:lang=el)
but there is no warranty both those provides are belonging to the same font.
There is no way to distinguish between a package that includes an actual greek
dejavusans and a package that includes a dejavusans greek-less file and another
totally different greek font
To workaround this rpm limitation we've been asking packagers to put font files
belonging to different font families in different packages. However:
1. many still don't
2. it's not technically possible for all font formats, for example the ttc font
format allows mixing of fonts with different characteristics in a single file
The ideal solution:
Ability to have Provides like:
font(comma-separated font name list|comma-separated style list|comma-separated
lang list) (rough mockup that probably needs refining)
And have deps like (dejavu|*|el) work in rpm
(yes a font can declare many different names, be available in many different
styles, cover many different languages)
For ttc files we'd then generate one Provides for each font included in the ttc
bundle

Bug ID: 1062903
Summary: cantarell hints very poorly with new freetype CFF
engine (i.e. regression)
Product: Fedora
Version: 20
Component: abattis-cantarell-fonts

Bug 995643 was filed against freetype for hinting Cantarell very poorly. That
was closed as NOTABUG. But that doesn't change the fact that Cantarell is still
fuzzy, which is a major issue for a UI font. So let's try filing this bug the
other way around. :)
Playing around with ftview suggests that forced auto hinting gives back roughly
the same hinting as in Fedora 19. So could we have that as a fontconfig bandaid
until better hinting information is available in the font itself?
