--- Comment #17 from Nicolas Mailhot <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Adam Williamson from comment #16) > right, but a proper fix would involve the font as packaged working with > current pango. it should not require the user to convert the font themselves. Adam, you could say a proper fix for X11 would have been to find a way do design an X12 without all this Wayland crap that requires deep application and user habit changes. “proper” zero cost fixes do not exist in real life. Here, moving text layouting forward required to either give up on legacy font formats, or do a lot of dev to add support for them within modern text layouting libs. And, this dev effort was never started. It’s not unreasonable for text-processing apps to consider that, after almost two decades waiting for people that care about legacy fonts to do something for them dev side, those people effectively chose the conversion path. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386#note_568255 This year it was the turn of pango to made the switch. Three year ago it was Libre Office. The dominoes will continue to fall till only legacy apps stuck in another tech era continue to support pre-OpenType font formats. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
