Summary: Separate Japanese font configuration files for ghostscript

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507262

           Summary: Separate Japanese font configuration files for
                    ghostscript
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 11
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: japanese-bitmap-fonts
        AssignedTo: tagoh(a)redhat.com
        ReportedBy: t.matsuu(a)gmail.com
         QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: tagoh(a)redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs(a)redhat.com
   Estimated Hours: 0.0
    Classification: Fedora


I'm not sure which component should be assigned for this bug.  So I initially
assign this bug to japanese-bitmap-fonts because the files for discussion is
now owned by japanese-bitmap-fonts package.


Description of problem:
Now 
/usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/CIDFnmap.ja
/usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/FAPIcidfmap.ja
/usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/cidfmap.ja
are owned by japanese-bitmap-fonts.  But they never use fonts which are bundled
in japanese-bitmap-fonts.

Moreover, fonts which are set in the config files are dispersed among some
packages.

So we need to separate ghostscript contig files from japanese-bitmap-fonts and
they should be provided by another package (or included in ghostscript or
ghostscript-fonts package).


I suggest the following idea.

1. Universal
/usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/{CIDFnmap.ja,FAPIcidfmap.ja,cidfmap.ja} is owned
by new (eg. ghostscript-fonts-japanese), ghostscript, or ghostscript-fonts
package.

2. Each Japanese fonts have their own CIDFnmap.ja, FAPIcidfmap.ja, and
cidfmap.ja files i their common package.


Discussion required:
* fonts priority
* file owner for ghostscript config files
* package structure of IPA fonts are not ready for generate common subpackage
now (bug 507261)

BTW, the main problem seems to be ghostscript requires a separate set of
configuration files than the rest of the system. I suggest you focus on
convincing the ghostscript people to use fontconfig like everyone else
to find fonts. That will fix any future problem of this kind.

Well, if ghoscript now support font config we should certainly not add new
cruft to its old font setup but on the contrary remove it and use fontconfig
directly

Yes.　 I absolutely agree with you.　 When we can set config files for
ghostscript with fontconfig support and it works fine, we should remove config
files for ghostscript from font packages.

ghostscript-8.64 have "--disable-fontconfig" option for configure script and
ghostscript on F11 is compiled with fontconfig.

I'm afraid it may breaks some situations like PS requires the font with CMap. I
see current gs supports fontconfig but it doesn't work as alternatives for
them.

I don't think having aliases in fontconfig config for all of CMaps is
realistic. it could be a bug in gs but we shouldn't go without fixing this
issue.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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:

I've reverted component from ghostscript to japanese-bitmap-fonts.

CIDFnmap.ja, FAPIcidfmap.ja, and cidfmap.ja files have font lists which include
only sazanami and vlgothic fonts. However those fonts are provided by another
packages.

I suggest those *.ja files should be separated to another package.
ie. ghostscript-chinese


And I hope the default Japanese fonts for ghostscript will be set to IPA fonts.
:-)
IPA fonts are higher quality than sazanami fonts and includes both mincho and
gothic fonts under the same design policy.

I thought the direction of the past discussion was to get rid of those extra
configuration files, relying on fontconfig completely to get the better fonts.
so that would be better filing a separate bug for a workaround. assigning back
to ghostscript.

Aside from that, having different fonts for displaying and printing isn't a
good idea from the POV of WYSIWYG IMHO.

this change was not accepted by upstream. Also, if I understand it correctly,
any fonts issues should be dealt with by configuring fontconfig appropriately.
