Summary: macros.fonts uses %define instead of %global
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: fontpackages

While working on some compatibility macros for EPEL (to let the older branches
use some of the new RPM functionality without ifdefs) I found my macros broke
nothing except the font packages. After some bugging I found that use of
%define in the %_font_pkg() macro will expand itself recursively when expanded
in certain contexts. It seems to work currently by luck.
Changing that one %define to %global appears to work and generates RPMs which
differ from the current packages by nothing other than timestamps.
Is there a specific reason that %define is used there? As I understand it, the
general rule is that you should use %global unless you know that you really
need the special and difficult to explain behavior of %define. There's no
comment in the macros file about this, so I suspect that the use of %define is
not intentional.
Unfortunately this is holding up some work I'm doing so I'd like to get this
pushed out at least for EL6 and EL5 as soon as is reasonable. I'll do a
complete rebuild of all font packages and rpmdiff against current rawhide as
well as EPEL5 and 6 and post it here to make sure there's no breakage, and I'm
happy to push a package with that one line patched to any branches you desire.
Just let me know.

Summary: [kn] Change the default Kannada font to Noto from
Lohit-Kannada
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: fonts-indic

Reporter: prasad.mvs(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: extras-orphan(a)fedoraproject.org,

Aesthetically the Noto fonts are way better than Lohit-Kannada. Change the
default system font for Kannada to Noto.

The default fonts of the current fedora releases are Lohit-Kannada
Expected results:
Noto should be made the default font.
Additional info: To see a comparison between these two fonts, please follow
below steps:
1.Make sure that you have Noto font
2.Open the UTRRS page : http://utrrs-testing.rhcloud.com/language/kn
3.Enter "Noto Sans Kannada" and click on Change Font button.
4.Compare the References (Lohit-Kannada) with those of rendered Characters
(Noto Sans) for Code points, GPOS and GSUB.

Summary: Latin ligatures need 'liga' standard ligature lookups
Regression: ---
Story Points: ---
Classification: Fedora
OS: All
Reporter: deron.meranda(a)gmail.com
Type: Bug
Documentation: ---
Hardware: All
Mount Type: ---
Status: NEW
Component: liberation-fonts
Product: Fedora
Description of problem:
Glyphs in the Latin Ligature block (U+FB00 .. U+FB06), such as "fi" and "fl",
should have the OpenType 'liga' lookup features defined. That will allow text
renderers to automatically apply the ligature glyph.
Additionally, for completeness, the ligature caret horizontal positions should
be appropriately set for these glyphs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liberation-fonts-2.00.0
Additional info:
You may need to solve bug #851790 first.
Also the "fi" (and "ffi" if existing) should exclude dotless-i
scripts/languages, e.g., Turkish.

Summary: avoid using special purpose fonts such as apx-fonts
Product: Fedora
Version: 23
Component: fontconfig
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: htl10(a)users.sourceforge.net

CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, pnemade(a)redhat.com,
tagoh(a)redhat.com
Description of problem:
I started noticing many web pages on firefox, icecat, etc using a rather
undesirable choice of fonts a while ago, and finally tracked it down with
gnome-font-viewer to see which font is that. It is apx-fonts .
/usr/share/fonts/apx/04b03.ttf .
The problem is that its name starts with "04b03", and therefore comes first in
a fair number of font matches (don't know the exact criteria, but often
enough)...
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apx-fonts-0.1-3.fc23.noarch
fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc23.x86_64
fontconfig-2.11.94-4.fc23.i686
How reproducible:
Always, since installing it (I installed a whole lot of fonts a while ago,
basically just did "dnf install -y *fonts").
Steps to Reproduce:
1. installing apx-fonts
2. go to some web sites
3.
Actual results:
undesirable font choice.
Expected results:
pick something more suitable.
Additional info:
I know I can configure it myself in ~/.config/fontconfig, but fedora should
help in avoiding these in the first place; since "dnf install -y *fonts" is
probably common enough action.

Summary: Font hinting and aliasing not properly configured on
fresh Fedora 19 install.
Product: Fedora
Version: 19
Component: fontconfig
Severity: high
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: alxgrtnstrngl(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

Created attachment 830756
--> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=830756&action=edit
These are the configurations for 10-antialias.conf and 10-hinting-slight.conf
Description of problem:
The fonts in Fedora 19 look odd, thin and the font alignment is totally off
resulting in unreadable or very poor quality text. Setting Gnome Shell's or
even Mate's anti-aliasing font-configuration here does nothing to enhance text
quality. Web-pages in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox look ugly and
strange. Other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Unixes like Mac OS X do
not have this problem, on fresh installs fonts look crisp, beautiful and full.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)
How reproducible:
Do a fresh install of Fedora 19 from the install images, look at the fonts.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a fresh install of Fedora 19 from the install images.
2. Attempt to use the desktop environment settings to adjust the font aliasing
and hinting.
3. Look at text rendering versus that in other distributions.
Actual results:
Text is rendered in a very odd and thin way, kerning is also off and the fonts
characters are misaligned, in Fedora resulting in a degraded visual experience
especially in web-browsers,
Expected results:
Text should render in a similar beautiful and smooth fashion the way it does on
other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Unixes such as Mac OS X.
Additional info:
Manual configuration is required to fix this by creating the proper symbolic
links between '/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/' and '/etc/fonts/conf.d' for
the following configurations which are installed in 'conf.avail' but just never
configured out of the box:
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf'
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf'
It also requires the creation of the following two font configurations which
are attached to this bug report and the creation of the corresponding symbolic
links in '/etc/fonts/conf.d':
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-antialias.conf'
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf'

Own encodings, encodings/large dirs, check/create large
xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs invokes mkfontscale on encodings/large without
checking if it exists. And the encodings and encodings/large dirs should quite
probably be owned by this package because xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs creates
them if they don't exist.
Patch attached, ok if I push and build this for rawhide?
