[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 1484894] New: [im-chooser] ibus preference link is broken
by bugzilla@redhat.com
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1484894
Bug ID: 1484894
Summary: [im-chooser] ibus preference link is broken
Product: Fedora
Version: 26
Component: im-chooser
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: jylo06g(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, tagoh(a)redhat.com
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.7.0-1.fc26
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start im-chooser
http://www.localizingjapan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/fedora16-1...
2. Choose ibus (or no need?)
3. Click the blue underlined Preference link like nuts
Actual results:
Nothing happens
Expected results:
ibus-setup suppose to show up(?)
Additional info:
1. On Mate, there's im-chooser (and ibus) included but it doesn't work
2. On GNOME, you have to install im-chooser and it also doesn't work
3. GNOME probably doesn't need im-chooser anyway since ibus integrated with
GNOME Settings but things are different (and broken) for other desktop
environments
Side note:
Is (after choosing) ibus no longer showing Preference from drop down [EN] box
normal?

I'm with you all the way.
@Dee'Kej:
David, I saw that the source package for urw-base35-fonts contains afm, otf, t1
and ttf formats. Is there a reason why you left OpenType and TrueType out?

All the packaging template does is make sure the fonts are in a location
fontconfig looks at, aliasing rules are ok, package naming and split is
consistent with other Fedora font packages, and fontconfig indexes are
refreshed at install time so yes one can do the same as the template piecemeal
(though it is much simpler to apply the template to make sure nothing was
forgotten as is usually the case).
If libreoffice sees the fonts that confirms newer libreoffice expects OpenType
only, ie ttf or otf files (which is rather sane in 2017, one can only
workaround old legacy incomplete formats so long).
So there are two good options: make sure TEX Gyre fonts are well packaged in
Fedora, or start a separate project to convert URW fonts to OpenType under GS
licensing (and drop the legacy PS1 files)
And there is one bad option: convince libreoffice to accept PS1 fonts a bit
longer, with the associated bugs and limitations, that no one will know to
attribute to the legacy format, that no one will ever fix, and things will
continue to slowly rot.
I hate when people ship legacy font formats "just because they may be useful
for someone", OpenType won a long time ago, OpenType contains stuff with is
required for state of the art text rendering, non-OpenType is a dead end, all
modern apps work fine with OpenType and need nothing else.

There are no fontconfig.conf (nor metainfo.xml) files and the fonts are
packaged in a number of different formats.
Interestingly, I discovered the texlive-tex-gyre-math package on my system,
which contains nothing but the fonts in otf format plus their license and these
fonts are available in LibreOffice.

I seem to have such rules in 30-metric-aliases.conf as well as in the
fontconfig files from David's urw-base35 fonts.

This was on 2016-11-25:
"We are on our way to the reconciling both licenses. It takes time, though..."

I haven't checked texlive lately but unless the fonts are packaged using the
Fedora packaging template they won't be available in fontconfig for non-tex
apps such as libreoffice.
It does not matter if they are packaged as texlive subpackages or as
independent projects as long as the template is applied. Also, whoever packages
them needs to ship some fontconfig files that aliases the various past names of
the fonts to the new one for backwards compat. Again there are templates to do
so in fontpackages-devel.

http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/index_html#Licensing
they got URW to publish the fonts under their own pet license to avoid dealing
with Ghostscript licensing they didn't understood. So as long as they rebased
to that release with no ghostscript import they are ok legal-wise (do check
with spot if you feel like it, though I'm pretty sure he'd have blocked them
from TexLive during its TEX audits if there was still a problem).
That sucks if GS added fixes over URW material, but that's how free software
works when projects disagree on licensing.
