https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1926533 Bug ID: 1926533 Summary: Postinstall scripts are failable, fail during KDE netinst (due to dependency loop most likely) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Component: xorg-x11-fonts Severity: urgent Assignee: xgl-maint(a)redhat.com Reporter: awilliam(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: airlied(a)redhat.com, ajax(a)redhat.com, caillon+fedoraproject(a)gmail.com, caolanm(a)redhat.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, jglisse(a)redhat.com, negativo17(a)gmail.com, rhughes(a)redhat.com, rstrode(a)redhat.com, sandmann(a)redhat.com, xgl-maint(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora In current Fedora Rawhide, KDE network installs fail with a scriptlet error in an xorg-x11-fonts subpackage: 16:36:01,304 INF dnf.rpm: mkfontscale: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory warning: %post(xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.5-27.fc34.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 16:36:01,310 ERR dnf.rpm: Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi Dependencies should be in place, AFAICT: xorg-x11-fonts subpackages require 'mkfontdir', which is in the same package as mkfontscale (xorg-x11-font-utils) and that package requires libfreetype.so.6. What's likely happening is a dependency loop that dnf has to break somehow. This isn't uncommon on initial install, something like A requires B requires C requires A, and in order to do anything, dnf has to pick *some* dependency to disregard. Probably because of some loop like this, it's ordering install of xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi before install of freetype, and so its %post script fails. We could look for and try to fix that loop, but note the packaging guidelines state: "All scriptlets MUST exit with the zero exit status. Because RPM in its default configuration does not execute shell scriptlets with the -e argument to the shell, excluding explicit exit calls (frowned upon with a non-zero argument!), the exit status of the last command in a scriptlet determines its exit status. Most commands in the snippets in this document have a “|| :” appended to them, which is a generic trick to force the zero exit status for those commands whether they worked or not. Usually the most important bit is to apply this to the last command executed in a scriptlet, or to add a separate command such as plain “:” or “exit 0” as the last one in a scriptlet. Note that depending on the case, other error checking/prevention measures may be more appropriate. Non-zero exit codes from scriptlets can break installs/upgrades/erases such that no further actions will be taken for that package in a transaction (see Ordering), which may for example prevent an old version of a package from being erased on upgrades, leaving behind duplicate rpmdb entries and possibly stale, unowned files on the filesystem. There are some cases where letting the transaction to proceed when some things in scriptlets failed may result in partially broken setup. It is however often limited to that package only whereas letting a transaction to proceed with some packages dropped out on the fly is more likely to result in broader system wide problems." https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_synt… basically, by policy scriptlets should be written to return 0 even if they don't work. These scriptlets aren't respecting that. Given that not running mkfontdir likely doesn't have any calamitous consequences, I think it would make sense to go with the guidelines and amend all the scriptlets to add `|| :` at the end (which will cause them to exit 0 even if the command failed). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1809989] New: By default install Noto fonts for Unicode scripts not already covered by default

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809989 Bug ID: 1809989 Summary: By default install Noto fonts for Unicode scripts not already covered by default Product: Fedora Version: 31 Status: NEW Component: google-noto-fonts Assignee: petersen(a)redhat.com Reporter: hsivonen(a)hsivonen.fi 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, pwu(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora There is currently movement towards protecting browser users from font fingerprinting. This means refusing, by default, to load user-installed fonts, which makes the set of fonts that each OS installs by default even more important than before. Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1582687 W3C CSS WG issue: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4497 Currently, Windows 10, macOS, Android, and Chrome OS provide broader installed-by-default Unicode coverage than Fedora. Examples of living scripts that have enough active users to make it to the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_writing_systems#List_of_writing_scrip… but are not supported by default in Fedora 31 include Javanese, Sundanese, Batak, Balinese, Mongolian, and New Tai Lue. Egyptian hieroglyphs is an example of a dead script the Fedora 31 doesn't support out of the box but Windows 10, macOS, Chrome OS, and Android do. To remedy this with minimal disk space impact, I suggest the same approach that Apple took. Apple bundles with macOS those Noto fonts that cover scripts that were not already covered by the previous installed-by-default set of fonts on macOS. In the macOS case, the on-disk footprint of the Noto fonts that were required to take macOS to Android/Chrome OS-competitive Unicode coverage was only a couple of megabytes. (The fonts are hidden in /Library/Application Support/Apple/Fonts/Language Support/.) In the case of Fedora, the set of Noto fonts required to reach the Chrome OS / Android level of script coverage is a bit larger than in the macOS case but should still be manageable. Please install, by default, those Noto fonts that provide support for scripts that are not properly supported by the fonts that Fedora already installs by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1784650] New: Fontconfig is slow, causing stuttering and freezing

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1784650 Bug ID: 1784650 Summary: Fontconfig is slow, causing stuttering and freezing Product: Fedora Version: 31 Status: NEW Component: fontconfig Severity: high Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com Reporter: bepvte+bugzilla(a)gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: ajax(a)redhat.com, caillon+fedoraproject(a)gmail.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, gnome-sig(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, john.j5live(a)gmail.com, mclasen(a)redhat.com, pnemade(a)redhat.com, rhughes(a)redhat.com, rstrode(a)redhat.com, sandmann(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: Fontconfig is much much slower than on other distros, and it stutters or freezes applications that use it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : fontconfig Version : 2.13.92 Release : 3.fc31 Architecture: x86_64 How reproducible: I can reproduce this bug on a fresh Fedora 31 vm with the Xfce desktop and google-noto-sans-* fonts installed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install google-noto-sans-* 2. run gedit on the attached example file alternatively 1. dnf install google-noto-sans-* 2. open firefox and browse to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q52 (page with lots of languages) Actual results: It takes around 60 seconds for gedit to become responsive to scrolling and input. Mousepad is faster but still slow. It takes firefox upwards of 5 minutes to get to first paint on a page with many fonts or languages, compared to a simpler page. Expected results: Gedit should load files with many fonts at a similar speed as other distros. The page should load quickly, like on Debian and others. Additional info: I have tried to diagnose the source of this issue in many ways. Running `perf trace` on what sysprof indicated was the most busy function (FcStrCmpIgnoreCaseAndDelims), shows that every name of every font family is being compared to every other name of every other font family. I do not know if this is a normal behaviour of fontconfig. I have noticed the amount of calls to "FcStrCmpIgnoreCaseAndDelims" and program startup time both drop to a similar amount as Debian's when all of the "google-noto" configuration files in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ are deleted (These files are not present in Debian). However, this might not be the source of the problem: In the Debian vm, with a copy of my computer's /etc/fonts/, including the google-noto files, (I took care to ensure that there would be no broken symlinks) and /usr/share/fonts, fontconfig does not stall any programs. The amount of calls to FcStrCmpIgnoreCaseAndDelims is also much lower as well. This led me to believe that it was a difference caused by compiler flags but this does not seem to be the case. I tried to replace the optflags in the package, except for the rpmbuild required debug ones, and found no difference. I also checked to ensure that it was not caused by GCC version differences. Debian results for mousepad: 1,845,449 calls to FcStrCmpIgnoreCaseAndDelims Time: 5 seconds Fedora results for mousepad: 11,658,380 calls to FcStrCmpIgnoreCaseAndDelims Time: 23 seconds https://perfht.ml/2tleJxN Here is a link to a Firefox profiler result of the wikidata page, where in the flame graph you can see that Firefox is spending most of its time in fontconfig. You can also see "FirstNonBlankPaint" is at 50 seconds in the marker table. TLDR: Fontconfig matching is slow with all google-noto fonts installed, unless you remove the noto config files. Using the same exact font directory and config directory (including the noto config files) on Debian does not cause the same problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
