Package: tex-gyre Version: 2.004.1-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
according to the project home page, the TeX Gyre Fonts are (mostly) metric compatible replacements for the 35 base Postscript fonts by Adobe. However, the fonts are not registered with fontconfig as such, while other similar alternatives like the URW fonts are. This means, that fontconfig will still select the ugly Type1 Nimbus Sans font for rendering a web page in a browser - when this web page has requested to be rendered in Helvetica - although there is a hinted alternative available in Opentype format that is TeX Gyre Heros. Fontconfig simply does not know there is a more suitable alternative for screen viewing available. Please add a fontconfig file that registeres the TeX Gyre fonts as alternatives to the Adobe fonts. If you think this should be implemented by fontconfig itself, feel free to reassign this request. - Fabian -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (501, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tex-gyre depends on: ii defoma 0.11.12 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii tex-common 2.08 common infrastructure for building ii xfonts-utils 1:7.6~1 X Window System font utility progr tex-gyre recommends no packages. tex-gyre suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
