https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578460 Behdad Esfahbod <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flag|needinfo?([email protected] | |om) | --- Comment #5 from Behdad Esfahbod <[email protected]> 2010-04-07 12:06:56 EDT --- The font correctly follows the OpenType specification in defining 'name' table entries in platform=3, encoding=0 (symbol) instead of platform=3, encoding=1 (Unicode). mkfontscale however seems to be unable to handle that. The relevant parts of the spec are from this page: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/name.htm """ When building a Unicode font for Windows, the platform ID should be 3 and the encoding ID should be 1. When building a symbol font for Windows, the platform ID should be 3 and the encoding ID should be 0. ... ... Note that OS/2 and Windows both require that all name strings be defined in Unicode. Thus all 'name' table strings for platform ID = 3 (Windows) will require two bytes per character. Macintosh fonts require single byte strings. """ The following patch for mkfontscale makes it examine all platform=3 (Windows) encodings. Fixes the problem in this bug and I don't expect it introduce any issues. I do need to consult the OpenType mailing list though, since this part of the spec is a bit contradictory. Anyway, here's the patch for now. Should actually be safe to go in. diff -up xorg-x11-font-utils-7.2/mkfontscale-1.0.7/mkfontscale.c.symbol xorg-x11-font-utils-7.2/mkfontscale-1.0.7/mkfontscale.c --- xorg-x11-font-utils-7.2/mkfontscale-1.0.7/mkfontscale.c.symbol 2010-04-07 12:04:29.000000000 -0400 +++ xorg-x11-font-utils-7.2/mkfontscale-1.0.7/mkfontscale.c 2010-04-07 12:03:54.000000000 -0400 @@ -317,7 +317,7 @@ getName(FT_Face face, int nid) int i; if(getNameHelper(face, nid, - TT_PLATFORM_MICROSOFT, TT_MS_ID_UNICODE_CS, &name) || + TT_PLATFORM_MICROSOFT, -1, &name) || getNameHelper(face, nid, TT_PLATFORM_APPLE_UNICODE, -1, &name)) { string = malloc(name.string_len / 2 + 1); Ideally though, mkfontscale should be updated/rewritten to use fontconfig. -- 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. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
