https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774474 Bug ID: 1774474 Summary: Missing some coverage in certain variants Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: dejavu-fonts Severity: low Assignee: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net Reporter: tagoh(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net, paul(a)frixxon.co.uk, peter(a)thecodergeek.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: I'm expecting to see same glyph coverage to all variants available in the package but apparently not. this is just a result running some test cases with fc-validate against languages which is expectedly or unexpectedly supposed to assign dejavu as a default font for. See logs stored in the following link for more details. that demonstrates this issue. https://jenkins-continuous-infra.apps.ci.centos.org/blue/rest/organizations… Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.37-2.fc31 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.fc-validate -l <lang> /path/to/fonts 2. 3. Actual results: (One of) snippet from logs: [2019-11-19T14:20:10.928Z] RESULT: PASS: /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf satisfy ab language coverage.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1860412 Bug ID: 1860412 Summary: New version of Droid Sans causes problems in Firefox and Thunderbird GUIs Product: Fedora Version: 32 Status: NEW Component: google-droid-fonts Assignee: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net Reporter: skontar(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net, oliver(a)redhat.com, paul(a)frixxon.co.uk, tremble(a)tremble.org.uk Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: For years I am using Droid Sans 11 as my GUI font in my desktop. With recent update the text in Firefox and Thunderbird gained weird padding, causing wasted space, weird alignment issues, sometimes slight text cut-off at bottom (Thunderbird). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): google-droid-sans-fonts-20200215-3.fc32.noarch Last good: google-droid-sans-fonts-20120715-16.fc31.noarch How reproducible: Set Droid Sans 11 (also different size) as a GUI font. See how menus and parts of GUI looks like, overlaps and behaves. Compare by testing old version of the package, or different font such as Roboto. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install google-droid-sans-fonts-20200215-3.fc32.noarch 2. Set Droid Sans 11 as default a GUI font 3. Open Thunderbird or Firefox Actual results: Weird unnecesarry padding in menus, cut-offs and similar text issues. Expected results: No change when compared to old version. Additional info: Reproducible in clean XFCE spin VM. Easily fixed by using similar font (Roboto) or old version of the package, so the problem is in the font package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1839471 Bug ID: 1839471 Summary: OpenType variant of Lucida Typewriter has extra spacing around characters Product: Fedora Version: 32 Status: NEW Component: bitmap-fonts Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com Reporter: tsmetana(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen(a)redhat.com, pnemade(a)redhat.com, psatpute(a)redhat.com, pwu(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Created attachment 1691497 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1691497&action=edit Screenshot of the terminal in Fedora 32 Description of problem: The OpenType version of Lucida Typewriter fonts has extra spacing around every character making it quite unusable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bitmap-lucida-typewriter-opentype-fonts-0.3-33.fc32 xfce4-terminal-0.8.9.1-2.fc32 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install bitmap-lucida-typewriter-opentype-fonts 2. Select the "LucidaTypewriter Sans" for the termina font Actual results: There's extra spacing around the characters. Expected results: The font looks the same as on Fedora 30 Additional info: I assume the automatic conversion from the PCF fonts doesn't work completely well. It's definitely better than in F31 (see bug #1767384) but not good yet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1836987] New: Font descent miscalculated for some applications
by bugzilla＠redhat.com 25 May '21

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1836987 Bug ID: 1836987 Summary: Font descent miscalculated for some applications Product: Fedora Version: 32 Status: NEW Component: dejavu-fonts Assignee: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net Reporter: mcrha(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net, paul(a)frixxon.co.uk, peter(a)thecodergeek.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Created attachment 1689621 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1689621&action=edit See the letters like 'j', 'g', 'y', which are cut When I install hexchat (hexchat-2.14.3-3.fc32.x86_64) it has preselected in Settings->Preferences font "Monospace 9". It seems to be mapped to Dejavu font in Fedora 32, according to: $ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Regular" I have installed dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-7.fc32.noarch and the font in hexchat has cut the text vertically, the bottom part of the line, some part below the base line, is missing. I guess it's due to misreported descent for the font, possibly some fraction, which, when recalculated to pixels, rounds down, causing the pixel cut. This is even more problematic for an underscore ('_'), which is not visible at all, because it's at the very bottom of the font height, thus it looks like a space, not underscore. I see this in more applications, not only with hexchat, thus it might not be a problem in there. I also see this with other fonts, like with: VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Regular" thus, maybe, it's even lower in the stack. I worked around this in my editor by adding one pixel to pango_font_metrics_get_descent() / PANGO_SCALE but it's only a workaround. I've also Fedora 30 machine and it has installed: dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-1.fc30.noarch and the hexchat shows lines properly. It also says: $ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" I've also a Fedora 31 machine, which has installed: dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-2.fc31.noarch and hexchat is similarly broken as in Fedora 32. It says: $ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" Looking in the package history in koji, there was not done any real change between 2.37-1 and 2.37-2. Thus, maybe, it is nothing new. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 1813230] New: [RFE] ghostscript add support for variable fonts from fontconfig

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1813230 Bug ID: 1813230 Summary: [RFE] ghostscript add support for variable fonts from fontconfig Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Version: 8.4 Status: NEW Component: ghostscript Assignee: zdohnal(a)redhat.com Reporter: zdohnal(a)redhat.com QA Contact: qe-baseos-daemons(a)redhat.com CC: cosimo.cecchi(a)gmail.com, dkaspar(a)redhat.com, extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, ian(a)ianweller.org, jsteiner(a)redhat.com, klember(a)redhat.com, me(a)fale.io, mosvald(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com, twaugh(a)redhat.com, zdohnal(a)redhat.com Depends On: 1813187 Target Milestone: rc Classification: Red Hat Pool ID: sst_cs_infra_services_rhel_8 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1813187 +++ Description of problem: During investigating https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1722900 was found the font mentioned in summary fails with mismatch on FcPatternGetInteger() from fontconfig when gs asks for FC_WEIGHT value. I'm not sure whether the font or fontconfig is at fault, so I'm filing the issue on font package. I'm willing to help with debug, if needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abattis-cantarell-fonts-0:0.201-2.fc32.noarch fontconfig-2.13.92-6.fc32.x86_64 ghostscript-9.50-1.fc32 Steps to Reproduce: 1. gs -dNODISPLAY -dBATCH nasmdoc.ps Actual results: You can see in logs a message: DEBUG: FC_WEIGHT didn't match in /usr/share/fonts/cantarell/Cantarell-VF.otf Expected results: No such message Additional info: --- Additional comment from Kalev Lember on 2020-03-13 08:32:41 UTC --- Sorry, I don't know much about fonts and don't think I can be of much help debugging this. Can you ask Jakub and/or Tagoh if they know what's going on (CCd)? --- Additional comment from Nicolas Mailhot on 2020-03-13 08:42:52 UTC --- On the fontconfig side, that’s basically bug https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/issues/222 No idea if gs also contains problematic weight assumptions, invalidated by the introduction of variable fonts. On the packaging side cantarell has probably not been converted to new font packaging guidelines yet. It needs some name fixing (use of a space-free ExtraBold qualifier, removal of Regular in Name ID 4 for the Regular face, making NameID 4 consistent with Name ID 17 for other faces). Though except for the ExtraBold part, everything else will going to be workarounded in future fontconfig versions. --- Additional comment from Nicolas Mailhot on 2020-03-13 08:52:38 UTC --- (Also fontconfig exposes a generic meta face for variable fonts, this face does not have any specific weight, it gives the weight scale for the whole family) --- Additional comment from Akira TAGOH on 2020-03-13 08:58:05 UTC --- That isn't related to this. I don't know how ghostscript collects fonts from fontconfig though (probably using FcFontList()?), the problem here would be that they have dealt with a meta face as a normal face which has true in FC_VARIABLE and contains a weight in range but not integer. That's not a bug in font nor fontconfig. --- Additional comment from Zdenek Dohnal on 2020-03-13 09:25:03 UTC --- Hi Akira, yes, you're right, gs uses FcFontlist() - does the following to get font list: ----------------------------------------------------- /* load the font set that we'll iterate over */ pat = FcPatternBuild(NULL, FC_OUTLINE, FcTypeBool, 1, FC_SCALABLE, FcTypeBool, 1, NULL); os = FcObjectSetBuild(FC_FILE, FC_OUTLINE, FC_FAMILY, FC_WEIGHT, FC_SLANT, NULL); state->font_list = FcFontList(0, pat, os); ----------------------------------------------------- then when it enumerates the fonts it calls (f.e. for FC_WEIGHT): result = FcPatternGetInteger (font, FC_WEIGHT, 0, &weight_fc); (similar thing for FC_FILE, FC_FAMILY, FC_SLANT, FC_OUTLINE). Would you mind telling me/pointing me to a manual how to deal with it correctly, if it is not a problem of font/fontconfig? --- Additional comment from Akira TAGOH on 2020-03-13 10:07:42 UTC --- If ghostscript has no plans to support variable fonts or a plan to support only named-instances, you can set false to FC_VARIABLE as a query pattern; that should be more simple and easier than your patch applied in ghostscript; you can take care of the named-instances in VF font files as same as usual face then. otherwise set FcDontCare to FC_VARIABLE and need more changes in the code to deal with non-named-instances perhaps. The meta face which you faced the issue this time provides such information instead of providing it as one of faces because there are so many patterns to enummerate everything and quite hard to do. the targetted properties such as FC_WEIGHT, FC_WIDTH and FC_SIZE has a value in FcRange which means they can use an unique value between them. Unfortunately there are no more detailed document though, pango source code may helps how to deal with them. --- Additional comment from Akira TAGOH on 2020-03-13 10:16:22 UTC --- You can see what values the meta face provides. try fc-list -b -v Cantarell:variable=true for example. --- Additional comment from Zdenek Dohnal on 2020-03-13 10:40:41 UTC --- IMO they are not aware of the fact the variable fonts need a special care when are used from fontconfig. I'll check with upstream about variable fonts then. Thank you for the info!

If you did a dnf system-upgrade from Fedora 30 and were using a bitmap font like Terminus, all your terminals will show the rectangular placeholders the first time you start a terminal. Bitmap fonts like terminus and ucs-miscfixed are much easier to read in a terminal since they are pixel perfect. If Fedora 31 is going to disable support for bitmap fonts, it needs to be announced and the package maintainers of those bitmap font packages are going to need to find a way to convert their fonts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pango-1.44.6-1.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install 'terminus-fonts' 2. Start GNOME terminal 3. Open Terminal Preferences 4. Attempt to change the font to Terminus font Actual results: If you upgraded from Fedora 30 and had Terminus fonts as the default font, the first time you launch Terminal, all the text will be the rectangular placeholders. If you search for the Terminus font in the preferences, you won't be able to find it. Expected results: Use the Terminus font as usual Additional info: It appears that pango switched from using FreeType to HarfBuzz, which only supports truetype. I rebuilt the Fedora 30 pango package (1.43) for Fedora 31, downgraded it, and now my terminals are fine showing my bitmap fonts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
