Could you consider about a font path look up mechanism for RedHat and Fedora
Core
variants?
What about, for instance, use of /usr/sbin/chkfontpath regardless of existence
of font servers if /usr/sbin/chkfontpath exists on the system?
Since X Window on Fedora Core normally does not include unix/:7100 in its
font path, setup and soffice.bin seems not to call /usr/sbin/chkfontpath.
psprint/source/fontmanager/fontmanager.cxx:
void PrintFontManager::initialize( void* pInitDisplay )
if( ! bServerDirs
&& ( nPos = aPath.indexOf( ':' ) ) > 0
&& ( !aPath.copy(nPos).equals( ":unscaled" ) ) )
{
bServerDirs = true;
getServerDirectories();
}
void PrintFontManager::getServerDirectories()
#ifdef LINUX
/*
* chkfontpath exists on some (RH derived) Linux distributions
*/
static const char* pCommands[] = {
"/usr/sbin/chkfontpath 2>/dev/null", "chkfontpath 2>/dev/null"
};
Problem:
Consequently, neither setup nor soffice.bin of OOo 1.1.x 81(ja) cannot find
any
Japanese font files embedded in Fedora Core distributions from the beginning,
which are intentionally not listed in the return values of XGetFontPath().
See issue 29794.
Workaround:
xset fp+ unix:/7100
./setup
./soffice
I have not confirmed this phenomenon on OOo 1.9, but the code around this
looks identically.
Impacts:
Casual, potential users would hesitate to migrate to OOo/SO/SS because
they might believe well made application software should behave properly
without any workaround.
