Dear packager, At 20091122T202901Z, your “wqy-bitmap-fonts” package failed one or more of the tests I was performing on the “fedora-devel” repository located at: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-f13-build-current/x86_64/
There are three different reasons that may cause this message: 1. your package is including one or more font files, but not packaging them properly; 2. your package is including one or more font files, and I've found issues in some of them; 3. your package is not shipping any font file, but the way it accesses fonts in other packages is not satisfying. To stop receiving this message, you need to: 1. drop the font files or fix their packaging; 2. relay the fonts issues to the fonts upstream to get them revised; 3. work with the code upstream to improve the way it accesses font files (usually by making it use fontconfig through a higher-level text library such as pango, pango-cairo, harfbuzz, or QT) You can self-check your packages at any time by: 1. installing createrepo and fontpackages-tools: # yum install createrepo fontpackages-tools 2. putting your packages and any font package they depends on in a test directory 3. indexing this directory with createrepo: $ createrepo path-to-test-directory 4. running repo-font-audit: $ repo-font-audit test file://absolute-path-to-test-directory A summary of the issues I detected is appended here. For your convenience a more comprehensive analysis is also attached to this message. Errors, warnings and suggestions: P# t7 t17 t19 1 8 8 8 Total 8 8 8 P# Maintainer SRPM RPM EVR Arch 1 fangq wqy-bitmap-fonts wqy-bitmap-fonts 0:0.9.9-11.fc12 noarch Test explanation: t7. Error: fonts not identified as such by libmagic ☛ Upstream task libmagic could not identify some files with font-like extensions in the package. The files may be malformed and in need of fixing, or they use a font extension when they should not, or libmagic has a bug. Please relay the problem to the appropriate upstream to get it fixed. t17. Warning: fonts that do not pass fontlint sanity checks ☛ Font upstream task Fontforge's fontlint¹ test suite found problems in some files included in the package. Those problems may not be obvious and only manifest as strange behaviour in specific applications (making them hard to debug). For that reason it is recommanded to report those problems upstream and get them fixed, even if the font file seems to work fine most of the time. You can ask help about specific fontlint errors on: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fontforge-users Please relay the problem report to the font upstream. ¹ http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/fontlint.html t19. Suggestion: fonts with partial script coverage ☛ Font upstream task Some font files included in the package are missing a few glyphs to be accepted by fontconfig as covering one or several scripts. Therefore they could be made useful to more people with only a little effort. Many scripts differ by only a few glyphs and it is unfortunately common for font authors not to notice they stopped just short of full support for some of them. To check a font file script coverage, run: $ FC_DEBUG=256 fc-query font-file and look for lines like: script-id¹(number) { list-of-unicode-codepoints } For example “mi(2) { 1e34 1e35 }” means fontconfig will accept the tested file for Maori if codepoints 1e34 and 1e35 are added. fontconfig is used by a lot of applications on many systems so ignoring its opinion on a font is a mistake. Please relay the incomplete coverage report to the font upstream. P.S. Of course fontconfig is not perfect either so it may require a glyph for a script when it should not. In that case, please report the problem to fontconfig upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=fontconfig against the “orth” component. ¹ http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php ² https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=fontconfig Please take the appropriate measures to fix the “wqy-bitmap-fonts” package. I will warn you again if it is still necessary next time I am ran.
