Summary: Regression: wqy-bitmap-fonts preferred font over truetype fonts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492510 Summary: Regression: wqy-bitmap-fonts preferred font over truetype fonts Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: i18n Severity: medium Priority: low Component: wqy-bitmap-fonts AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Classification: Fedora Target Release: --- Failure Case 1: gramps PDF generation ===================================== gramps is a genealogy application that generates PDF charts. It seems to ask pango to choose fonts for it based upon given glyphs. * In Fedora 10, it successfully output charts using entirely truetype fonts. * In Fedora 11 however, the UTF-8 Chinese characters are rendered in PDF as bitmap fonts, which do not scale properly and are ugly compared to the truetype equivalents. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576890 Behdad proposes this bug upstream, which would workaround this type of issue at least for vector rendering cases like PDF generation. I am uncertain if this is correct though, and it creates possibly inconsistent behavior? Failure Case 2: pango-view ========================== Here is a similar way to reproduce this bug: LANG=en_US.utf8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "100" LANG=zh_CN.utf8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "100" English pango renders the Chinese characters as ugly bitmap. Chinese pango renders the Chinese characters as truetype. Workaround: uninstall wqy-bitmap-fonts ====================================== Both of the above problems go away if you uninstall wqy-bitmap-fonts. But this should not be necessary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
