[Bug 1072095] New: Liberation Sans renders most Latin combining characters incorrectly
by Red Hat Bugzilla 09 Sep '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072095 Bug ID: 1072095 Summary: Liberation Sans renders most Latin combining characters incorrectly Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: rkaldari(a)wikimedia.org 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 870161 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=870161&action=edit Comparison between Helvetica, Arimo, and Liberation Sans Description of problem: Liberation Sans renders most Latin Unicode combining characters incorrectly. These are the diacritics and tie characters in the Unicode range U+0300 to U+FE2F (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character) In particular: 1. The diacritics do not take into account the width or height of the paired character (which I imagine is a kerning issue) 2. Tie characters are always positioned incorrectly. They are supposed to visually tie two characters together, but in Liberation Sans they are simply centered under the 2nd character. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): version 2.00.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Liberation Sans 2. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kaldari/Font_test Actual results: Diacritics and ties are a mess. Expected results: See Helvetica example in attached file. Additional info: The best way to understand this bug is to look at the attached file (comparison.png). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

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

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

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.

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.

[Bug 1574410] New: Incorrect lowercase Cyrillic BE for Macedonian language in liberation v2 (look like Greek delta)
by bugzilla＠redhat.com 28 Aug '18

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1574410 Bug ID: 1574410 Summary: Incorrect lowercase Cyrillic BE for Macedonian language in liberation v2 (look like Greek delta) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: petersen(a)redhat.com Reporter: dmjpp(a)hotmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: alexl(a)redhat.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, john.j5live(a)gmail.com, mbarnes(a)fastmail.com, mclasen(a)redhat.com, petersen(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com, rhughes(a)redhat.com, rstrode(a)redhat.com, sandmann(a)redhat.com Description of problem: The lowercase BE (U+0431, б ) looks incorrect. It looks like Greek lowercase delta δ. This is related to this change https://pagure.io/liberation-fonts/c/607af724740a2daf868b4d2b731d58bf1f5b46… and bug 657849 While those changes may matter for Serbian, the Macedonian BE in regular fonts actually looks same as the Russian. ONLY in italic fonts the delta look is applicable, because italic fonts kinda look like handwriting. Note that if you open the page for Cyrillic alphabet or the Cyrillic BE on wikipedia, it states incorrect and uncited info about this, Macedonian and Serbian shape of BE is different. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.00.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install harfbuzz and liberation2 2. Run the following commands cd location/of/fonts hb-view --language=mk LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationSans-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationMono-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationSans-Bold.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationMono-Bold.ttf б Alternative way to trigger is to: 1. Open libeoffice (Liberation Serif is selected by default) 2. Write: б 3. Select that and change the paragraph language to Macedonian. Actual results: I see the delta Expected results: Should have the standard "six" shape, not "delta" shape cd location/of/fonts hb-view --language=en LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationSans-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationMono-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationSans-Bold.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationMono-Bold.ttf б Additional info: -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
