font packages list
by Akira TAGOH 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi, just thought it may be a good idea to put the packages list anywhere, which fonts are used for aliases by default. so I'm trying to generate the list from comps and the fontconfig file (to see the priority and the alias) in a package. Here is the list genereated: https://tagoh.fedorapeople.org/fonts/f14-defaultinstalledfonts.html That doesn't contain all of font packages but only font packages marked as "mandatory" or "default" in comps. also sorted out against the fontconfig priority. Also the source code is available at: http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=tagoh/public_git/fonts-sig.git;a=tree;f=fo… I'm not checking everything so it might be wrong in some cases. any volunteers to check are always welcome :) Cheers, -- Akira TAGOH

DroidSans aliasing

Nicolas, Can you please adjust the droid-sans conf file to add either binding=same or binding=strong to all edits? If you run fc-scan on DroidSansJapanese.ttf right now, you see that the family, fullname, and fontversion values are marked weak (w). We really want them to be (s). Thanks, behdad

Update on forcing autohinting per font
by Kevin Kofler 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi, it was noticed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705348 that the most straightforward way to force autohinting for a particular font: <match target="font"> <test name="family" compare="eq"> <string>Your Font</string> </test> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS in Qt applications (more precisely, force autohinting also for other fonts which should use the bytecode interpreter), especially if your font is one of the fonts pulled in for locale coverage (e.g. the Lohit fonts). Instead, the following snippet is safe to use: <match target="font"> <test qual="first" name="family" compare="eq"> <string>Your Font</string> </test> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> Note the added qual="first" attribute. Please ALWAYS USE THIS QUALIFIER when forcing autohinting for a specific font. (I wasn't aware of this issue myself before this bug report came up. Thanks to Akira Tagoh for the qual="first" fix.)
