Priority list breaks the order of the font on non-native locale
by Akira TAGOH 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi, I'm just trying to get Bug#492510 fixed and noticed that Simple priority list in the fontconfig conf that each font packages has and the priority lists in *-non-latin.conf etc breaks the order of the fonts when running under non-native locale (in that case displaying Japanese on en_US locale). How it breaks.. well, the markup to override the language information nor overriding fallback fonts rules with PANGO_LANGUAGE doesn't work. once removing the priority lists it works again. So I'd suggest adding a font in the language-specific rules rather than having the priority list. Any comments are welcome. TIA, -- Akira TAGOH

Changing « Preferred Family » value
by Mathieu Bridon 19 Mar '09

Hi ! I've just been assigned a bug report on a font package I maintain in Fedora [1]. >From my understanding, the bug is in the TTF file itself. I'm not very familiar with fonts (I took over this package as it was orphaned and needed by the fedora-olpc effort), so I don't really know how I should proceed to fix it. Is there a way for me to patch the TTF file ? Does this belong upstream, so I should report it to the font developer ? Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

fontforge update for f10?
by Kevin Fenzi 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Greetings. In the past we have been reluctant to update fontforge in stable releases. The reason for this is that an update could cause a font to no longer build for some reason and then we would have no way to provide updates to that font. ;( However, there seem to be some issues with the current F10 fontforge, so I would like to open discussion on updating there. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462038 for some discussion of this. We could likely add libspiro, pango/cairo support in an update if we wanted to as well. Anyone have any thoughts about doing this update in F10? Thanks, kevin
