CALL FOR TESTING: ttfonts-ja

[Akira TAGOH]

Hi,

the testing package of ttfonts-ja is available on
http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/sazanami/
which contains Sazanami fonts so-called Japanese TrueType
font.
I need some feedbacks to replace Kochi Gothic and Kochi
Mincho to Sazanami Gothic and Sazanami Mincho which the
upstream has released. and Kochi fonts won't be
maintained by the upstream anymore.

you can get the testing package against yum or apt. please
add the below for yum.

[sazanami]
name=Sazanami font testing
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/sazanami/

and for apt
rpm http://people.redhat.com/tagoh sazanami sazanami
rpm-src http://people.redhat.com/tagoh sazanami sazanami


Well, kochi-gothic-subst.ttf and kochi-mincho-subst.ttf is
being removed from the testing package. so you will see the
problem unless you modify /etc/fonts/fonts.conf at least.

you can modify it as the following:
sed -e 's/Kochi/Sazanami/g' /etc/fonts/fonts.conf > /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.new \
&& mv /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.old \
&& mv /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.new /etc/fonts/fonts.conf


If you find the applications which doesn't work with those
fonts or any problems on the fonts, please let me know.

Thanks,
