Bug ID: 1839471
Summary: OpenType variant of Lucida Typewriter has extra
spacing around characters
Product: Fedora
Version: 32
Status: NEW
Component: bitmap-fonts
Assignee: psatpute(a)redhat.com
Reporter: tsmetana(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Created attachment 1691497
--> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1691497&action=edit
Screenshot of the terminal in Fedora 32
Description of problem:
The OpenType version of Lucida Typewriter fonts has extra spacing around every
character making it quite unusable.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bitmap-lucida-typewriter-opentype-fonts-0.3-33.fc32
xfce4-terminal-0.8.9.1-2.fc32
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install bitmap-lucida-typewriter-opentype-fonts
2. Select the "LucidaTypewriter Sans" for the termina font
Actual results:
There's extra spacing around the characters.
Expected results:
The font looks the same as on Fedora 30
Additional info:
I assume the automatic conversion from the PCF fonts doesn't work completely
well. It's definitely better than in F31 (see bug #1767384) but not good yet.

Based on the help from Peng Wu in bug 1753295, I've now rebuilt bitmap-fonts
with fonttosfnt with that merge request applied and with .spec change from bug
1753295 comment 109 into
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/adelton/fedora-fixes/ and now
LucidaTypewriter Sans 9 from
bitmap-lucida-typewriter-opentype-fonts-0.3-35.ad1.fc32.noarch in
xfce4-terminal under pango-1.44.7-2.fc32.x86_64 is displayed exactly like the
old bitmap font under pango-1.43.0-4.fc30.x86_64.

Awesome. I confess I converted the one variant I cared about using FontForge
some time ago with not so great but slightly better result: my font had
actually smaller line-spacing than the original (no matter what I did with
ascent / descent / line gap seemed to have an effect), but that could be worked
around by setting line spacing in the terminal. I'll test your font. Thanks for
the update.

It's actually a pity xfce4-terminal does not allow spacing < 1 -- that would
have given people more options for workarounds.

Jan's LucidaTypewriter looks fine on my terminal and other applications as
well.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
