Bug#385167: xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi: Breaks the Helvetica font on e.g. inkscape
reassign 385167 inkscape retitle 385167 Should not show the bitmapped fonts in the font menu or should be be fixed to be able to work with such fonts thanks On Thu, Oct 12, 2006 at 05:37:05PM +0200, Teemu Ikonen wrote: > > Please do reassign.

This can be espected because Inkscape is a vector-based drawing program. Such programs require scalable fonts (PostScript, TTF) and can not use bitmapped fonts. As far as I know Debian doesn't provide scalable Helvetica font. In my opinion Inkscape should not show any bitmapped font in its menu regardless of what packages are installed. If you agree I will reassign this bug to inkskape. Otherwise we should close it. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Please tell me if you know what I should do in order to reproduce this bug on my system. You're right, if I install either xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi, then the Helvetica font appears on the Inkscape menu, but the font displays the problems I described in the previous mail. If I remove both of these packages, Inkscape does not find any Helvetica font in my system. Perhaps this is a bug in Inkscape, at least other Gnome programs such as gedit seem to work with the Helvetica bitmap font just fine...

I tried this but I can not see any bitmapped font in the font menu of inkscape. Do you have a PostScript or TTF font for Helvetica? > Since xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi is a russian font, breakage on latin script > is not really surprising, but could the name of the cyrillic helvetica > be changed to something else, so that this won't happen? This font package is not much different to the default X fonts - it supports both Cyrillic and Latin symbols and most of the default X fonts also support both Cyrillic and Latin symbols.

Bug#385167: xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi: Breaks the Helvetica font on e.g. inkscape
Package: xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi Version: 1.1.20001007-6 Severity: normal When this package is installed, the Helvetica font (a very, very common font in svg files) becomes broken, mostly showing whitespace, not kerning at all etc. This happens in inkscape, but probably also in other applications. Since xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi is a russian font, breakage on latin script is not really surprising, but could the name of the cyrillic helvetica be changed to something else, so that this won't happen? I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find out what's wrong with inkscape.
