Package: tk8.6 Version: 8.6.0~b1-2 Severity: important Fonts can now be specified in additional formats. E.g., I can set the X resource *font: "DejaVu Sans Mono" 7 and this works with tk8.6-apps. But it breaks legacy apps: $ xterm xterm: cannot load font "DejaVu Sans Mono" 7
$ emacs Font `"DejaVu Sans Mono" 7' is not defined They expect an XLFD in the font resource. It is thus not possible to specify an Xft default font. Each application would have to be configured separately. The solution IMO is to indroduce new variables for the new font specifications, just like xterm did when it gained Xft support (XTerm*faceName, XTerm*faceSize). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29.3 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tk8.6 depends on: ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.13-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii tcl8.6 8.6.0~b1-3 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tk8.6 recommends: ii mrxvt [x-terminal-emulator] 0.5.4-1 lightweight multi-tabbed X termina ii tilda [x-terminal-emulator] 0.09.6-1 terminal emulator with first perso ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 243-1 X terminal emulator tk8.6 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
