[Fonts] fonts.alias with ttf fonts problems.
I have font aliases defined in the fonts.alias file: [root@narl rtf]# cat fonts.alias MilStd2525-adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 NTDSSymbols -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-12 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--12-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-14 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--14-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-16 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-18 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--18-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-20 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--20-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-24 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--24-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-40 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--40-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 MilStd2525-30 -adobe-MIL_STD_2525b-medium-r-normal--30-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 HelvBold12 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1 HelvBold14 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-82-iso8859-1 HelvBold18 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-103-iso8859-1 The MilStd2525 files are ttf and the HelvBold files are the regular fonts. For some reason, I see the HelBold fonts, but not the MilStd fonts. both of the long font names are shown in xlsfonts. Is there a problem with ttf font aliases?

It's rather urgent, I'd like it to go into 4.3. I think using '_' instead of ' ' for the "unsafe" chars would be better. Also, for [ ] ( ) \ I told about them as examples, I don't know if they are actually problematic, nor if there are others in such case.

Note however that the "normal" name has not a "-" but a space; so the postscritp name isn't used by my version of ttmkfdir as the default name is ok to use. Also, it seems that the thing after the '-' in ps font names is to specify a different style; "Kochi-Mincho" and "Kochi-Gothic", "MS-Mincho" and "MS-Gothic" are the 4 only exceptions in all the fonts I have. Ok, I looked at the sources, and what our version of ttmkfdir does is: - look at the the English name of the font, for the 'Macintosh' platform, - if not ok, look at the English name for the 'Windows' platform, - if not ok, take the psname - if still not ok, use "unknown" (it could be improved, but until now this case has never been reached). IIRC the reason I changed the default algorithm is that it didn't used the psname if the font name was wrong, but instead changed the chars of the string to valid ascii, and in some cases the result was very unreadable, while using the psname would ahve given a much better name. Well, all this is becoming obsolescent anyway (and rightly so! font handling trough Xft2 is so much easier). -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese] msg01483/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[Fonts] Unsafe chars in Mkfontscale
Mike,
Would you be so kind as to test the attached patch and confirm that it
does what you want? It's rather urgent, I'd like it to go into 4.3.
I'm cut off from CVS right now, sorry if it doesn't apply cleanly.

Thanks for the report. There is also the case of names containing non-ascii, and other special chars like ( ) [ ] \ etc. In the ttmkfdir version we use we handle such cases by using the postscript name of the font instead, when writting the fonts.dir file; I haven't had any problem so far (several years already doing that). -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese] msg01480/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'll change your patch a wee bit: I'll copy the family name instead of modifying it in place, and I'll do the replacement by hand -- strpbrk is likely to break some obscure platform or other. I'll send it in ASAP. Juliusz ___ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
