--- Comment #7 from Frédéric Wang (:fredw) <[email protected]> 2014-03-23 14:01:17 PDT --- Created attachment 8395450 --> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8395450&action=edit Patch So I tried to unbitrot https://github.com/fred-wang/MozillaCentralPatches/blob/master/download-fonts-1.diff. It seems however, that it's no longer possible to determine if Web fonts are currently loading from mUserFontSet (at least without extending the API). Although I'm not exactly sure whether or not we want to wait these fonts before raising a warning... This version exposes a scriptable XPCOM interface to install packages via PackageKit, so in theory it could be used from Mozilla add-ons (not tested yet). I guess that could be useful (for example to make the MathML-fonts add-on install the system package). PackageKit seems to have other useful method to install font packages by languages or gstreamer codec. > GIO's GDBus is the new way for GLib/GTK apps such as Gecko apps to use DBus, > but Firefox is built against an older GIO which doesn't have GDBus. Do you know if this is still true? The patch seems to work for me with my system's GIO. At worse, I guess it could be a compilation define that the Linux distribution maintainers can enable for their Firefox's versions. > Fedora-side at least the font provides are generated by fontconfig, and are > not distribution-specific (and if those provides are insufficient for some > distribution I do hope they'll get the fontconfig provides generator improved > instead of inventing their own metadata) For MathML, the plan after bug 407059, bug 947654 and others is to move to OpenType fonts with a MATH table (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla_MathML_Project/MathML_Torture_Test for a list of such fonts). In particular, Latin Modern Math is likely to become the default. At the moment, I've tried with the "InstallPackageNames" method. But for example the Debian package name for STIX is fonts-stix while the one of Fedora is stix-fonts. Do you think there is a less distrib-dependent PackageKit method or would the Linux maintainers have to write patches to modify the list of fonts to install? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------------------------------- Product/Component: Firefox :: General ------- 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/
