[Bug 475889] Re: Arial Narrow: not recognised
I managed to fix this, install FontForge (I got it through Software Center) and open ARIALN.TFF with it. Then click on Element -> Font Info... and select 'TFF Names' on the left. Find two lines that say: English (US) | Preferred Family | Arial English (US) | Preferred Styles | Narrow Change 'Arial' to 'Arial Narrow' and 'Narrow' to 'Regular'. Click OK and select File -> Generate Fonts... (don't click on 'Save...', it won't work) and select 'True Type' from the box under the filename. Click on the wrench icon on the upper right corner and select 'Show Hidden Files', then save it in .fonts folder. You can replace the original file or save it under different name, it should work anyway. FontForge will tell you that the font has errors, but ignore it. Now do the same with ARIALNB.TFF, ARIALNBI.TFF and ARIALNI.TFF, of course changing 'Narrow' to 'Bold', 'Bold Italic' and 'Italic' respectively. It appears to be working fine on my Lucid. -- Arial Narrow: not recognised https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 475889] Re: Arial Narrow: not recognised
Confirmed in updated lucid and maverick on multiple systems. This debian-derived bug has appeared in Ubuntu on multiple occasions repeatedly. Unforunately the earlier bug reports seem to have been deleted or closed. The problem is that arial Narrow is a *DIFFERENT* font and is mistakenly assigned to arial. It should show up as separate font as does "Arial Black". See attached screen print. Arial narrow is a very common font and the inability to use this font in Ubuntu is one of the main reasons that I run MS office in Vbox. fc-match "arial narrow" ARIALN.TTF: "Arial Narrow" "Narrow" fc-list | grep -i arial Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Narrow Italic,Cursiva,kurzíva,kursiv,Πλάγια,Italic,Kursivoitu,Italique,Dőlt,Corsivo,Cursief,Kursywa,Itálico,Курсив,İtalik,Poševno,Etzana Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Narrow Bold,Negreta,tučné,fed,Fett,Έντονα,Bold,Negrita,Lihavoitu,Gras,Félkövér,Grassetto,Vet,Halvfet,Pogrubiony,Negrito,Полужирный,Fet,Kalın,Krepko,Lodia Arial Black:style=Regular,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Narrow Bold Italic,Negreta cursiva,tučné kurzíva,fed kursiv,Fett Kursiv,Έντονα Πλάγια,Bold Italic,Negrita Cursiva,Lihavoitu Kursivoi,Gras Italique,Félkövér dőlt,Grassetto Corsivo,Vet Cursief,Halvfet Kursiv,Pogrubiona kursywa,Negrito Itálico,Полужирный Курсив,Tučná kurzíva,Fet Kursiv,Kalın İtalik,Krepko poševno,Lodi etzana Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Narrow,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta Arial:style=Bold Italic,Negreta cursiva,tučné kurzíva,fed kursiv,Fett Kursiv,Έντονα Πλάγια,Negrita Cursiva,Lihavoitu Kursivoi,Gras Italique,Félkövér dőlt,Grassetto Corsivo,Vet Cursief,Halvfet Kursiv,Pogrubiona kursywa,Negrito Itálico,Полужирный Курсив,Tučná kurzíva,Fet Kursiv,Kalın İtalik,Krepko poševno,nghiêng đậm,Lodi etzana Arial:style=Italic,Cursiva,kurzíva,kursiv,Πλάγια,Kursivoitu,Italique,Dőlt,Corsivo,Cursief,Kursywa,Itálico,Курсив,İtalik,Poševno,nghiêng,Etzana Arial:style=Regular,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,thường,Arrunta Arial:style=Bold,Negreta,tučné,fed,Fett,Έντονα,Negrita,Lihavoitu,Gras,Félkövér,Grassetto,Vet,Halvfet,Pogrubiony,Negrito,Полужирный,Fet,Kalın,Krepko,đậm,Lodia ** Attachment added: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50922995/Screenshot.png -- Arial Narrow: not recognised https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 475889] Re: Arial Narrow: not recognised
I'm unable to reproduce this issue in Karmic, Lucid and Maverick, even with dutch locales (if I recognized dutch well). The only difference is that I installed fonts for a specific user instead of system wide install: - Create ~/.fonts/arialnarrow/ - Copy ARIALN*.TTF in ~/.fonts/arialnarrow/ - run fc-cache -fv gnome-specimen lists 2 different fonts (which are the right ones) and the right fonts are used in openoffice. I suspect some kind of substitution occurs on you system.

The bug is also present in Lucid.

[Bug 475889] Re: Arial Narrow: not recognised
The problem remains if both Arial and Arial Narrow are copied from a Windows installation. Attached are two screenshots from gnome-specimen: With both Arial and Arial Narrow installed, duplicate entries are shown, and both show the regular variant. With only Arial Narrow installed, the font is rendered correctly. The font name above the example is Arial Italic Condensed, but the tree view only shows "cursief" (Dutch for Italic) If I remember correctly, on 9.04 the font was correctly recognised, and both the regular and narrow would show up under Arial in the tree view. ** Attachment added: "both Arial and Arial Narrow installed" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/3131/screen1.png -- Arial Narrow: not recognised https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 475889] Re: Arial Narrow: not recognised
I can confirm that neither Ubuntu 9.10 nor OpenOffice.org 3.1 recognize the Arial Narrow font family properly. OpenOffice.org provides a way to install fonts through spadmin, which are not available to the system. After realizing that Arial Narrow was not usable in my Ubuntu system, I tried spadmin to install it directly into OpenOffice.org to no avail. It is recognized as Arial font family, Narrow style by the Gnome Font Viewer, which is interesting, to put it softly, because there is no "Narrow" style in ANY program I know which uses fonts. There are only Regular, Bold, Italic, and combinations of these. In OpenOffice.org, the spadmin is supposed to allow the renaming of fonts. I can see the duplicate entries for Arial, which are actually Arial Narrow fonts, and I can rename them, but it always reverts back, never sticks. So, that doesn't work as advertised, either. -- Arial Narrow: not recognised https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
