Summary: encodings in /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/large are not read by X server https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634039 Summary: encodings in /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/large are not read by X server Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: xorg-x11-fonts AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected] Classification: Fedora Target Release: --- Description of problem: Installing font encoded in "large" encoding set prevents native X applications starting up normally. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.2-9.fc12 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a font encoded in any of the encoding defined in /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/large/*. For example, cjkuni-uming-fonts 2. Run a native X application like xcalc Actual results: You will see the warning on the terminal: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Even worse, some applications (including m17n-edit in m17n-lib-tools) abort with: Error: Aborting: no fontset found Also, you will see errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'gb2312.1980-0' for '/usr/share/fo nts/cjkuni-uming/uming.ttc' Expected results: No warnings will be shown and every application should not abort. Additional info: This is because X server does not read encoding files in /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/large, while it reads files in /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings. Possible solutions are: 1. Move the encoding files from the "large" subdir to the upper dir 2. Generate encodings.dir in /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings with entries for "large" subdir. I guess there may have been some reason not to generate encodings.dir, though I couldn't find any clue from the changelog. -- 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/
