Bug ID: 1813187
Summary: Cantarell-VF.otf fails on fontconfig's
FcPatternGetInteger() call for FC_WEIGHT
Product: Fedora
Version: 32
Status: NEW
Component: abattis-cantarell-fonts
Assignee: klember(a)redhat.com
Reporter: zdohnal(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: cosimo.cecchi(a)gmail.com,
fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, ian(a)ianweller.org,
klember(a)redhat.com, me(a)fale.io
Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
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

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)?

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.

(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)

--- Comment #4 from Akira TAGOH <tagoh(a)redhat.com> ---
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.

--- Comment #5 from Zdenek Dohnal <zdohnal(a)redhat.com> ---
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?

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.

You can see what values the meta face provides. try fc-list -b -v
Cantarell:variable=true for example.

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!

ghostscript-9.52 already has a workaround for this issue (see upstream commit -
[1]), fix is already prepared and waiting for upstream approval ([2]), so
moving this bug to POST.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
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.

Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
