            Bug ID: 885307
           Summary: RFE: Install STIX-General fonts
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: stix-fonts
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
          Reporter: paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade at gmail.com

I see that when "rpmbuild -bp" the stix-fonts package
it creates:

$ ls -R BUILD/stix-fonts-1.1.0/Fonts/
BUILD/stix-fonts-1.1.0/Fonts/:
STIX-General  STIX-Word

BUILD/stix-fonts-1.1.0/Fonts/STIX-General:
STIXGeneral-BoldItalic.otf     STIXNonUnicode-Bold.otf
STIXGeneral-Bold.otf           STIXNonUnicode-Italic.otf
STIXGeneral-Italic.otf         STIXNonUnicode-Regular.otf
STIXGeneral-Regular.otf        STIXSizeFiveSym-Regular.otf
STIXIntegralsD-Bold.otf        STIXSizeFourSym-Bold.otf
STIXIntegralsD-Regular.otf     STIXSizeFourSym-Regular.otf
STIXIntegralsSm-Bold.otf       STIXSizeOneSym-Bold.otf
STIXIntegralsSm-Regular.otf    STIXSizeOneSym-Regular.otf
STIXIntegralsUp-Bold.otf       STIXSizeThreeSym-Bold.otf
STIXIntegralsUpD-Bold.otf      STIXSizeThreeSym-Regular.otf
STIXIntegralsUpD-Regular.otf   STIXSizeTwoSym-Bold.otf
STIXIntegralsUp-Regular.otf    STIXSizeTwoSym-Regular.otf
STIXIntegralsUpSm-Bold.otf     STIXVariants-Bold.otf
STIXIntegralsUpSm-Regular.otf  STIXVariants-Regular.otf
STIXNonUnicode-BoldItalic.otf

BUILD/stix-fonts-1.1.0/Fonts/STIX-Word:
STIX-BoldItalic.otf  STIX-Italic.otf       STIX-Regular.otf
STIX-Bold.otf        STIXMath-Regular.otf

but %install only installs the ones under STIX-Word

This causes some python-matplotlib failures due to the missing
fonts, e.g:

$ egrep -i 'STIX(General|Integral|NonUnicode|Size|Variant)'
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mathtext.py
    - handles sized alternative characters for the STIXSizeX fonts.
    _fontmap = { 'rm'  : 'STIXGeneral',
                 'it'  : 'STIXGeneral:italic',
                 'bf'  : 'STIXGeneral:weight=bold',
                 'nonunirm' : 'STIXNonUnicode',
                 'nonuniit' : 'STIXNonUnicode:italic',
                 'nonunibf' : 'STIXNonUnicode:weight=bold',
                 0 : 'STIXGeneral',
                 1 : 'STIXSizeOneSym',
                 2 : 'STIXSizeTwoSym',
                 3 : 'STIXSizeThreeSym',
                 4 : 'STIXSizeFourSym',
                 5 : 'STIXSizeFiveSym'

and in my sagemath package, the side effect is several
warnings like this:

    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXGeneral'] not found.
Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXSizeOneSym'] not
found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXSizeThreeSym'] not
found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXSizeFourSym'] not
found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXSizeFiveSym'] not
found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXSizeTwoSym'] not
found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
    doctest:1214: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['STIXNonUnicode'] not
found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans

  I do not know exactly what is done in the related debian
package, but looking at the fonts-stix_1.1.0-1.diff maybe the
call to defoma-font will rename STIXGeneral-Regular to
STIX-General, or create some fontconfig rule from
fonts-stix-1.1.0/debian/otf-stix.defoma-hints:
...
+category opentype
+begin /usr/share/fonts/opentype/stix/STIXGeneral.otf
+  Family = STIXGeneral
+  FontName = STIXGeneral
+  Encoding = Unicode
+  Location = English
+  Charset = ISO8859-1
+  GeneralFamily = Roman
+  Weight = Medium
+  Width = Variable
+  Shape = Normal Upright
+  Foundry = STI
+  Priority = 20
+end
...
