That’s because bitmap font users didn’t try to use the tools before the decade allocated to the conversion ran out and the depreciation was complete. No users = no polishing nor bugfixing, no different from any other kind of software. All the 19xx-era software that is still stuck using X11 Core fonts or Xft will break hard on 4K HiDPI screens (none of the fonts from the 90’s are designed for this kind of hardware, new fonts are not exposed with the old methods because the old methods were depreciated because they couldn't handle new fonts in a satisfactory manner). ETA: about five years. Think their users are preparing? Of course not. Someone else should take care of it. In the software world things someone else should take care of break hard then eventually die. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-bugs-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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/fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org
