[Bug 18724] New: RFE: font merging
by bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18724
Summary: RFE: font merging
Product: fontconfig
Version: 2.6
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: library
AssignedTo: keithp(a)keithp.com
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com
Several major fonts like Arial and Droid Sans are created in two parts: a core
multifaced part and an Unicode extension (Arial Unicode, Droid Sans Fallback).
Splitting in two file sets allows people who do not need the extension part to
avoid installing it (since the extension is usually huge)
For historic reasons the two parts use different font family names, even though
from a functional user POW they are just two components of a single family.
There should be a documented way in fontconfig for font distributors to specify
via a config file "font foo is an extension of font bar, use it preferably when
bar is missing glyphs, do not show it as a separate item in font lists and only
allow access to the foo family when an application asks explicitely for it"

Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux

CC: frank(a)scirocco-5v-turbo.de, kevin(a)tummy.com,

Classification: Fedora
This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or
several font files:
repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb'
-f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e
's+-[0-9.-]*\.fc[123456789]\(.*\)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq
Unfortunately the script
does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can
close this bug report now.
Otherwise, you should know that:
- Fedora guidelines
demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package or subpackage:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_font...
- our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships
fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel
package.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts
Please make
your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide.
If your package is not
principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage
is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can
always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed
in the correct fontconfig directories.
It is preferred to make a font package or
subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines
requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a
font family is given on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family
The new
templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe.
The
following packages have already been converted and can serve as examples: -
andika-fonts - apanov-heuristica-fonts - bitstream-vera-fonts - charis-fonts -
dejavu-fonts - ecolier-court-fonts - edrip-fonts - gfs-ambrosia-fonts -
gfs-artemisia-fonts - gfs-baskerville-fonts - gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts -
gfs-bodoni-fonts - gfs-complutum-fonts - gfs-didot-classic-fonts -
gfs-didot-fonts - gfs-eustace-fonts - gfs-fleischman-fonts - gfs-garaldus-fonts
- gfs-gazis-fonts - gfs-jackson-fonts - gfs-neohellenic-fonts -
gfs-nicefore-fonts - gfs-olga-fonts - gfs-porson-fonts - gfs-solomos-fonts -
gfs-theokritos-fonts - stix-fonts - yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts
If you have any remaining
questions about the new guidelines please ask them on fedora-fonts-list at

[Bug 525870] New: The Java plugin does not report available fonts accurately
by Red Hat Bugzilla
Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional
comments should be made in the comments box of this bug.
Summary: The Java plugin does not report available fonts accurately
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525870
Summary: The Java plugin does not report available fonts
accurately
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: java-1.6.0-openjdk
AssignedTo: langel(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: dbhole(a)redhat.com, mark(a)klomp.org, langel(a)redhat.com,
fedora-fonts-bugs-list(a)redhat.com, lkundrak(a)v3.sk
Blocks: 473302
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
The Java plugin does not report available fonts accurately. Samplers such as
http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-Unix.shtml
collect incomplete info
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-31.b16.fc12.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a F11 or rawhide system
2. Install our fonts # yum -y install $(repoquery --whatprovides "font(*)")
3. List them $ fc-list : family |sort
4. Open http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-Unix.shtml
5. Let the applet run, check its result
Actual results:
The java-detected font list is incomplete (for example it's missing STIX) and
does not use the same names at fontconfig
Expected results:
The same list in both cases

[Bug 477606] New: RFE: warn on fonts installed outside %_fontbasedir

Summary: RFE: warn on fonts installed outside %_fontbasedir

Summary: RFE: warn on fonts installed outside %_fontbasedir
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: rpmlint

Our current font packaging policy requires the installation of TTF/OTF/PFA/PFB
fonts in a subdirectory of %_fontbasedir
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/fontpackages
Our general packaging policy demands of packagers to create proper font
packages when their app bundles them
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_font...
If an app or bit of code is not fontconfig-aware, it can always package
symlinks pointing to fonts packaged according to our guidelines in
%_fontbasedir space, and depend on the font package providing those files.
A recent audit run revealed that the number of packages bundling fonts is very
high. (repoquery found 159 packages shipping fonts in rawhide, the 2/3rds not
being font packages, see bug #477044)
In many case their packagers were not even aware they were bundling fonts (bug
#477406#c4). Some of them are licensing problems (477384#c4)
To prevent such problems in the future, rpmlint should flag any package that
installs ttf/otf/pfa/pfb fonts outside the %_fontbasedir tree, or bundle those
files with binaries in /usr/bin, /usr/lib?? and such.
Packages that include symlinks to files in the %_fontbasedir tree are ok,
though they should also get a warning so upstream adds fontconfig support to
its code (since it has near universal adoption and continuing to ignore
fontconfig will only add to the packager problems in the long run)
