- * kernel 5.14.12 from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.14.12/
- * kernel 5.13.19 from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.13.19/
+ Logs cannot be obtained because none appear to be saved to disk during
+ the crash. (journalctl -k -b -1)
  
- When I boot back into the 5.13.0-19 kernel, the problem recurs.
- 
- I had also tried changing various system settings, bios settings, and

> How do you make it replace CourierStd with Ubuntu Mono?

I created custom config files to define the fallback fonts after
having issues with strange fallback font selection a few years ago.  
The  problem is associated with the generic font families including 
fonts of the wrong type (described in my previous comment #17).

[Bug 1824260] Re: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields

2020-10-27 Thread xiota
The following config would be better than the one I proposed earlier:


  CourierStd
  
  Courier
  



  CourierStd
  monospace


I submitted a request to fontconfig:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues/262

-

What one person considers sane isn't necessarily so.
*Assuming* sane defaults isn't really sensible.

Here are some examples, not directly related to the issue at hand:

  * In a "sane" configuration, we'd expect a list of monospace fonts 
when requesting the generic monospace font family.  Similarly for 
the generic serif and sans-serif families.  However, the following 
commands show that fonts of all three types are included in all of 
the generic families.

   fc-match -s monospace
   fc-match -s sans-serif
   fc-match -s serif

Normally, it doesn't cause problems because fonts of the right 
type are at the beginning of the list.  However, if a specific font 
is requested, an obviously incorrect substitution can be made 
(eg, sans-serif font shown when serif was requested) because fonts 
of all types are in all of the lists.

 Maybe developers in the past thought it was fine because some 
 config further along could be assumed to have sane defaults?  
 Or maybe they thought it was just a theoretical problem that 
 wouldn't ever occur?  But it's not just theoretical. I have 
 encountered real issues, which is why I know of it at all.

  * Many people believe that if they request a font that isn't 
installed, Ubuntu will substitute a font it "thinks" looks 
similar.  They don't realize that it has to be defined in the 
config files.

So if they request a font that's not defined, like CourierStd, 
Ubuntu will fallback to sans-serif, even though every human 
immediately knows the Courier substitutions should be used – 
and that would be the sane default.  But here, we're explicitly 
deciding *not* to, even knowing there is a theoretical risk of 
problematic substitutions in the future.

I just checked a few fonts. The fonts I thought might have problems are
mostly fine. Only some consecutive capitals clash, like WWW.

Ubuntu Mono looks bad (too much space), but it's readable.

I'll submit a request at the fontconfig gitlab.

The proposed patch might not fix the problem on all machines because not
all monospace fonts have the same metrics as Courier. So it would be
good to also add the following to 30-metric-aliases.conf:

   
 CourierStd
 
   Nimbus Mono PS
   TeX Gyre Cursor
   Cousine
   Liberation Mono
   Cumberland
   Cumberland AMT

CourierStd is not defined in any of the config files at
`/etc/fonts/conf.d`, so it falls back to sans-serif, not monospace. On
my computer, the sans-serif fallback is set to Ubuntu.

In config files at `/etc/fonts/conf.d`, creating duplicate rules for
"CourierStd" each time "Courier" or "Courier New" is mentioned should
fix the problem.

On my computer, `grep -Rl Courier` lists the following files:

30-metric-aliases.conf
45-latin.conf
60-latin.conf

Using `apt-file search`, the package those files belong to is
`fontconfig-config`.

2020-10-24 Thread xiota
Looking at `ss-5.pdf`, I saw the same rendering issue. The problem
appears to be associated with font substitution. In particular,
CourierStd is replaced with Ubuntu, which obviously won't render
properly.

![pdf-fonts](/uploads/aaa50e12cccb20910b8fa7c5d2d01b57/pdf-fonts.png)

I was able to correct the issue by installing the `fonts-urw-base35`
package and creating a file `~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-pdf-
aliases.conf` with the following contents:






  CourierStd
  
  Nimbus Mono PS
  




This problem can likely be fixed by adding font substitution rules to
the appropriate font packages.

[Bug 1633505] Re: gmrun gets a segment fault

2016-11-12 Thread xiota
Suspect the problem is with libpng16.  The xenial package uses libpng12.

>From the libpng website:

The libpng 1.5.x and 1.6.x series continue the evolution of the libpng
API, finally hiding the contents of the venerable and hoary png_struct
and png_info data structures inside private (i.e., non-installed) header
files. Instead of direct struct-access, applications should be using the
various png_get_xxx() and png_set_xxx() accessor functions, which have
existed for almost as long as libpng itself.

Rotating the screen with xrandr also gives me a black screen with
working mouse cursor.

The problem goes away when I set AccelMethod to UXA (the default is
SNA), which I did by creating a file
"/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf" with the following contents:

Section "Device"
