Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.11.0-6.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

.pcf font is not detected. This used to work, don't know why it doesn't
now. There are no errors, and the font is correctly detected after being
compressed with gzip.


$ dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config

Enable bitmap fonts.

$ wget -q -O - http://pts-mini-gpl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fonts/fixedsc.tgz | 
(cd / && tar xzv)
$ fc-cache -fv /usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc
/usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs
/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory
/root/.cache/fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory
/root/.fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory
fc-cache: succeeded

0 fonts? And no errors or warnings?

$ ls /usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc
fixedsc_6x13.pcf  fixedsc_6x13_bold.pcf
$ gzip /usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc/*
$ fc-cache -fv /usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc
/usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc: caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/local/share/fonts/fixedsc: caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts, 0 dirs
/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory
/root/.cache/fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory
/root/.fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory
fc-cache: succeeded

But 2 fonts are detected when gzipped?
