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.

[Bug 1836987] New: Font descent miscalculated for some applications

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.

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!

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
In pango 1.44, pango dropped support for bitmap fonts, so font packages like
terminus-fonts and ucs-miscfixed-fonts no longer appear in GNOME applications
that use pango, such as Terminal. 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.
