Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide

Classification: Fedora
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.

ttfcoverage is probably not up to the Unicode 7.x specs, so when it comes
across such fonts, it fails with a message like this one:

Nothing is logged anywhere when this occurs.
The only other reference to this I could find was on CPAN's bugtracker, but
it's not that useful.

When font packages that contain xml metadata files are checked with
repo-font-audit, it throws the following error:

Since xml metadata files are now required for font packages, the script should
be updated to recognize them.

Lower-case "s" too thin on Full hinting
Description of problem:
Bold lower-case letter "s" in serif looks in some cases too thin with Medium
and Full hinting, but look OK with hinting set to Slight or None. See attached
screenshots from LO Writer from F21.
See the "s" in a word "Midas" and "asked". It's 12 pt Liberation Serif, bold,
paper is enlarged to 157 % of width of A4 paper. When the zoom ratio gets
higher, the problem disappears, when zoomed out it's worse (but less visible).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liberation-serif-fonts-1.07.4-4.fc21.noarch
freetype-2.5.3-13.fc21.x86_64
libreoffice-core-4.3.5.2-4.fc21.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always.

[Bug 1084228] New: Hinting for Liberation Sans inferior at small font size

Bug ID: 1084228
Summary: Hinting for Liberation Sans inferior at small font

Created attachment 882473
--> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=882473&action=edit
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

External Bug ID: Red Hat Bugzilla 963502
Description of problem:
>
[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).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
>
google-droid-sans-fonts-20120715-6.fc20.noarch
How reproducible:
>
Always.
Steps to Reproduce:
>
1. [yum install google-droid-sans-fonts];
2. start KDE session;
3. launch <select UI fonts> dialog at [systemsettings];
4. 'Droid Sans' font is displayed twice: with [unknown] and [monotype]
suffixes;
5. select and apply anyone — 'Droid Sans [unknown]' or 'Droid Sans [monotype]';
6. KDE/Qt apps use the Droid Sans font, but GTK2/GTK3 apps use the defaul font
(DejaVu Sans).
Actual results:
>
'Droid Sans' font is not applied for GTK2/GTK3 apps. This font is displayed
twice at [systemsettings]: with [unknown] and [monotype] suffixes.
Expected results:
>
'Droid Sans' font is applied for all the apps. This font is displayed once at
[systemsettings] — without any suffix.
Additional info:

[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

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.
