Hello, First of all, Happy New Year! :-)
While testing the latest Red Hat 8.1 beta (Phoebe), during installation, fontconfig/Xft 2.1 appears to be selecting the wrong CJK bitmap font size when lang=en, as shown in the following screen capture: http://foka.homelinux.net/~foka/xft/phoebe-anaconda-en-chinese-24px.jpg switching to other languages, e.g. lang=de, seem to fix the problem: http://foka.homelinux.net/~foka/xft/phoebe-anaconda-de-chinese-16px.jpg Hanzi fonts available in the system: zh-CN: 16px and 24px PCF fonts zh-TW: AR PL Mingti2L Big5 (TrueType) ja: Kochi Gothic (TrueType) ko: (I forgot which one, probably Baekmuk Batang or Dotum; also TrueType) I couldn't figure out why disproportionally large 24px zh-CN font was selected in place of the closest 16px when lang=en. I have tried switching to all other languages, and it appears that only lang=en exhibits the problem. In the previous version (Red Hat 8.0, fontconfig 2.0, Xft 2.0), a more correct bitmap font size (16px instead of 24px) was selected even when lang=en. (I.e., it looks like phoebe-anaconda-de-chinese-16px.jpg) Is this issue the domain of fontconfig or Xft? Or Pango? Or something else altogether? I apologize for my ignorance, as I am not yet sure of the exact division of work among the three libraries. :-) Many thanks, Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling ThizLinux Laboratory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.thizlinux.com/ Debian Chinese Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org/intl/zh/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp! http://www.olvc.ab.ca/ _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
