font packages list

[Akira TAGOH]

Hi,

just thought it may be a good idea to put the packages list
anywhere, which fonts are used for aliases by default. so
I'm trying to generate the list from comps and the
fontconfig file (to see the priority and the alias) in a
package.

Here is the list genereated:

https://tagoh.fedorapeople.org/fonts/f14-defaultinstalledfonts.html

That doesn't contain all of font packages but only font
packages marked as "mandatory" or "default" in comps. also
sorted out against the fontconfig priority.

Also the source code is available at:

http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=tagoh/public_git/fonts-sig.git;a=tree;f=fon...

I'm not checking everything so it might be wrong in some
cases. any volunteers to check are always welcome :)

Cheers,

Bur the idea is nice. Would you be ok with adding this to fontpackages-tools?
(I can get you git/pkgdb access if you don't have it yet)

This may also helps to clean up comps to have the certain
number of packages per aliases for default perhaps.

Hi,

The improved fonts table is available at:
http://tagoh.fedorapeople.org/fonts/f14-defaultfonts.html

old one wasn't a bit useful because there are no way to know
what exactly the font is default. so I've put the font name
in the table this time.

I'm not planning to do mass-filing-a-bug for languages not
having any fonts in any generic names, because this
generator doesn't refer the default rule in fontconfig so
far and the default latin fonts might be sufficient for
that. though that may be good to add it into the certain
language group in comps to make sure if the expected fonts
are certainly installed for language. dunno.

However some fonts seems not having any fontconfig config
files. so that may be worth filing a bug perhaps.

Finally the latest source code is available in fontpackages
git repo now. thanks Nicolas for this offer.

Enjoy,

Updated the page to make it more decorative and
informative. the old page was a bit complicated and less
information even though I've followed up a bit in the
previous mail. so I've get rid of the package name there but
popping up as the tooltip now. also I've added some
decorations to give you a hint why the font package is
there.

There are some suggestions from me for maintainers who
owns packages that:

* appears as bold and gray-colored name, you may need to
   fix comps or fontconfig config file in the package,
   because it affects the certain language unexpectedly.

* appears as bold-italic name, you may need to fix comps,
   because it may be supposed to be used as the certain
   alias by default, but it's only enabled for the certain
   language but not for other languages. this would means
   that gives users the different looks for displaying.

* appears as no decorations but located after any italic
   name, you may want to consider to update comps which
   fonts should be used by default for language. this may be
   more serious than the above case. because given the
   packages that has marked default so far is expected one,
   it won't be used for people who installed with that
   language.

* appears as bold-italic name at the top of list, you may
   also need to consider the above case as well.

* appears no bold name in any generic names, you may need
   to dicsuss other font maintainers for your language to
   assign any fonts to the missing generic names. or if any
   fonts already has one, please update comps to install it
   by default. for your language at least.

For giving different result I've pointed out in yesterday's
mail, any fixes may be necessary for either of font packages
to change the order of the fontconfig config files perhaps.

Cheers,

It seems that no changes has been made since f15 at this moment.
I'm not sure if we are facing any space issue on the installation media such as spins and Live etc, we could still improve it if needed.

We should have certain aliases for Tibetan, Dzongkha and Thai at least. no aliases defined for those languages at all.

Aside from that, some fonts packages being sorted out at "other" (and particularly is decorated by non-italic which would be installed by default regardless of languages) may have options to 1) assign any aliases to use it efficiently or 2) get rid of "mandatory" or "default" from comps otherwise.

The candidate packages are here:

jomolhari-fonts
thai-scalable-waree-fonts
tibetan-machine-uni-fonts (bo only)
culmus-caladings-clm-fonts (he and yi only)
culmus-yehuda-clm-fonts (he and yi only)
un-core-dinaru-fonts (ko only)
un-core-gungseo-fonts (ko only)
un-core-pilgi-fonts (ko only)
madan-fonts (ne only)
serafettin-cartoon-fonts (ta only)
thai-scalable-garuda-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-kinnari-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-loma-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-norasi-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-purisa-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-sawasdee-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-tlwgmono-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-tlwgtypewriter-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-tlwgtypist-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-tlwgtypo-fonts (th only)
thai-scalable-umpush-fonts (th only)
cjkuni-ukai-fonts (zh_TW only)

One more topic on this list is, we should update comps for packages being gray-colored, which means selecting the default font behaves differently when installing other fonts packages from other language supports. we should keep consistency of the default font for language. so if it looks good to default for that language, we may consider to update the fontconfig file to give it a priority or update comps to install it by default.

This is a bit hard to explain what to do in general, so please review the list once and ask me if in doubt.

Cheers,

How about filing bugs for missing aliases that should be fixed?
A tracker bug may be good too?

Well, no policies to complain about it. that would be the sort of RFE in that sense so far. but would be a good idea. let me try.
