[Bug 1088033] New: Text Figures for Liberation Fonts
by Red Hat Bugzilla 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088033 Bug ID: 1088033 Summary: Text Figures for Liberation Fonts Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: alescesc1986(a)yahoo.it QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com Hello Pravin, I was wondering whether you might consider adding text figures to your fonts. That'd be great and I don't think it'll take you long. Regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1375061] New: RFE: try switching to Liberation Fonts 2 again
by Red Hat Bugzilla 28 Aug '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375061 Bug ID: 1375061 Summary: RFE: try switching to Liberation Fonts 2 again Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: fedora(a)leemhuis.info QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com Description of problem: The freetype maintainer in https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/subpixel-hinting.html recommends "using the Liberation family of fonts (version 2 and up, important!)" and criticises Fedora because it still ships version 1.x. I think it's time to try switching to v2 again. We tried that a few years ago (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Liberation_Fonts_2 ) and stopped it then due to problems (see Bug 856239); but from above recommendation it sounds like the problems we faced might be gone fixed in between. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1090631] New: Please set TT_NAME_ID_PREFERRED_FAMILY for Liberation fonts
by Red Hat Bugzilla 28 Aug '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1090631 Bug ID: 1090631 Summary: Please set TT_NAME_ID_PREFERRED_FAMILY for Liberation fonts Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: rhughes(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com Description of problem: At the moment the TT_NAME_ID_PREFERRED_FAMILY is not set on any of the Liberation fonts. As I understand it, TT_NAME_ID_PREFERRED_FAMILY is supposed to be the same for all files in the same high-level family, and this seems to be what most other fonts do in Linux. For the next release could you please set the PreferredFamily key to just "Liberation" in all 10 files. This allows component installers like gnome-software to group the fonts together rather than showing them as separate entries and should have no other effects. Thanks, Richard. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. Unsubscribe from this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/token.cgi?t=Zd611y9wUR&a=cc_unsubscribe

[Bug 1009650] New: Some Serbian glyphs seem to be Latin glyph

I'm puzzled, why does this happen? By the way, other Serbian glyphs aren't copied at all, but they told me this is XeLaTeX's fault, not font-dependent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: liberation-fonts Severity: high Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: pvelkovski(a)gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com Created attachment 805748 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=805748&action=edit Shoes how the letters look like, and what they should look like. Description of problem: The shape of the Regular (Normal) "Cyrillic macedonian small letter be" looks. It looks like the italic form minus the slant which is wrong! Also the letters "macedonian cyrilic ghe" and "macedonian cyrillic gje" look inconsistent in italic form. The "macedonian cyrilic gje" should look same as "macedonian cyrilic ghe" with an added accent. I'm attaching a pdf file that should explain the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

FontForge confirms this after opening LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf with SHA-256 = ea76595ed32ec4bb117fc715e393b4cca3d42cabe53101baec6bbbeb800fa26a. The glyph for U+266C BEAMED SIXTEENTH NOTES is correct. " The bug has been reported against version 2.00.1, ut I have checked with 1.07.3 and it is also present in this version.

[Bug 18725] New: RFE: allow merging of legacy font family names

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18725 Summary: RFE: allow merging of legacy font family names Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: library AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com Historically font formats only allowed four faces regular, bold, italic, bold italic. You had to use a separate font family to distribute condensed, heavy etc variants This has changed (cf http://blogs.msdn.com/text/attachment/2249036.ashx ) and modern fonts such as DejaVu include all faces under a single family name. Applications such as OO.o are being fixed to handle multifaced fonts Unfortunately there are still many historic fonts in the wild distributed in several sets of four faces (gs fonts, arial narrow, arial bold, etc). Those fonts currently appear under different family names in fontconfig-using apps. This is perturbing to users, since the same faces of historic and modern fonts are not handled the same way. Microsoft did some sort of magic in uniscribe to hide this distinction (irrelevant to users). Please provide a documented config pattern for font distributors that enables them to declare to fontconfig "font family A and font family B are the same, please expose all the associated faces under A name to users". (of course an application asking explicitely for B should still get it, but users would only see A in font lists) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
