Summary: No fontconfig config files provided Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: sil-abyssinica-fonts AssignedTo: bochecha@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: tagoh@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: mgarski@post.pl, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, bochecha@fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Target Release: ---
Description of problem: The font package should have one fontconfig config file in the package at least to let fontconfig know which alias the font is close to, which language the font is supposed to be used for etc.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sil-abyssinica-fonts-1.0-8.fc13.noarch
Additional Info: See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fontconfig_packaging_tips for what kind of rules you need to add.

--- Comment #1 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2010-05-14 04:44:56 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=413979) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=413979) proposed fontconfig config file
that would be ideal if anyone can add the complete list of the locale-specific overrides rule for locales that would be supposed to use this font.

--- Comment #2 from Mathieu Bridon bochecha@fedoraproject.org 2010-05-15 11:08:56 EDT --- Thanks for the config file Akira (and sorry for replying so late to this bug report).
From the upstream description, sil-abyssinica is supposed to cover most of the
languages used in Ethiopia and Eritrea, which means the following locales: aa_ER aa_ER@saaho aa_ER.utf8 aa_ER.utf8@saaho aa_ET aa_ET.utf8 am_ET am_ET.utf8 byn_ER byn_ER.utf8 gez_ER gez_ER@abegede gez_ER.utf8 gez_ER.utf8@abegede gez_ET gez_ET@abegede gez_ET.utf8 gez_ET.utf8@abegede om_ET om_ET.utf8 sid_ET sid_ET.utf8 so_ET so_ET.utf8 ti_ER ti_ER.utf8 ti_ET ti_ET.utf8 tig_ER tig_ER.utf8
From what I understand, Fontconfig locale-specific overrides are mainly useful
when several fonts cover the same unicode block, which is shared between several scripts.
However, I'm not sure a lot of fonts cover the languages used in those two countries, and it appears there is only one script in these unicode blocks, so I'm not convinced of the need for locale-specific overrides in the config file.
Did I get everything wrong? ^^'

--- Comment #3 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2010-05-16 22:36:59 EDT --- Basically you don't need it if: - the font doesn't affect to other languages - fontconfig can picks it up correctly without that rule
the first one would be the main purpose of the locale-specific overrides rule. the second one may needs to be fixed in other packages too perhaps though.
I didn't test the above rule because I didn't know which locales is supposed to be applied on this. so you're sure it works for the above locales, that's ok.

--- Comment #4 from Mathieu Bridon bochecha@fedoraproject.org 2010-06-13 04:03:10 EDT --- Well, I'm not 100% sure as I don't speak those languages, but everything seems fine in the GDM language selection (if sil-abyssinica-fonts is not installed, the languages display garbage, if it is installed the name of the languages are displayed in this font) and in a user session.
A package with your config file was just tagged and built for Rawhide. If you need it in another release, please ask.
Thanks for the bug report, the configuration file, and the patience. I should have been much more reactive for such a trivial bug, but I was swamped. Co-maintainers (or even someone to take it over) are more than welcome on this package.
