           Summary: Add substitution from ZapfDingats to Dingbats font
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 15
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: urw-fonts
        AssignedTo: than(a)redhat.com
        ReportedBy: nalimilan(a)club.fr
         QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: than(a)redhat.com, fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
    Classification: Fedora
      Story Points: ---
              Type: ---


Some PDF files that include symbols from the ZapfDingbats font without
embedding it (like [1]) render incorrectly on Fedora 15 when reading them in
Evince, Okular or GIMP. According to Poppler developers[2], this is because
Fedora doesn't include a substitution rule for this font, which can be found at
[3].

I could test that adding this rule fixes the problem. So I think tit should be
added, together with the Symbol -> Standard Symbols L one.

For reference, the file shipping the Dingbats font seems to be
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/d050000l.pfb.

--- Comment #1 from Fedora End Of Life <endoflife(a)fedoraproject.org&gt; ---
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Attachment [1] works correctly for me on F17, with circles correctly centred on
vertical lines at all points. F17 includes the suggested Fontconfig
substitutions for URW fonts, so could you please supply an attachment showing
the incorrect rendering that you are seeing?

Oh, sorry, indeed it now works. I mistakingly looked in /etc/fontconfig, while
the rules are in /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf (as I have applied the
substitutions in my home dir, I couldn't open the file to test).
