[I18n] patches to luit for (hkscs + gb18030) support
Hi,
I have filed a bug and submitted patches for 'hkscs and gb18030 support'
for luit.
Bug ID is 1048. The patch is attached also. Please note that the patch
depends on the GB18030 fontmap to work properly, which reside in xfree
cvs 'xc/fonts/encoding/large/gb18030*'

[I18n] Patch to use double width font (xft) in xterm
Hi,
I have made a patch on xterm so that, it can accept one more option /
resource, to utilize two fonts when using xft.
Originally, -fa option will make xterm to use xft instead of XFontSet,
but however, in most cases, this option is broken, as most CJK TTF fonts
can't have good (acceptable) monospaced appearance. Hence, I add one
more option '-fd' to accpet another font for 'double width' char.
Regards,
Zarick Lau

[I18n] An Xlib related question.
Hi,
I'm afraid this would be a OT for this list, but I don't know a proper list for this kind of question.
When I am going to setting up a interface between two X client to communicate, I found that, there is actually two mechanism available. But I don't know about their pros and cons.. Hence anyone can share some advice with me?
The two mechanism is
1. Using selection, SetSelectionOwner, Selection{Clear,Request,Notify} to communicate.
2. Use XSendEvent with event type = ClientMessage to communicate.
It seems that, selection is a must to for both side to know each other window id, but after acquiring a window id, there communication can then achieved by 'client message' OR 'selection convert' mechanism. And using client messages seems less expensive, as message is just sent to recipient with a window id, while using selection convert needs a few rounds of message.
On the other, in X lib programming manual, it doesn't talk a lot about the 2nd approach. It only state that, 'Selection' is an important mechanism to achieve Inter client communication.
Would anyone clear up my mind??
Regards,
Zarick Lau
Re: [I18n] XIM Server cannot receive XNSpotLocation event when usingXIMPreeditCallbacks mode?
Hi, Sometimes before, I found the same problem, but I think it may be a problem from GTK+2. You may have a look on the gtk-i18n ml.

[Fonts] Does fontconfig is used in other major project?
Hi all, As I'm totally agree that, the fontconfig brings a lot of benefit for us. It provide a far better cleaner approach to manage the fonts in the system, however, I would also know that, besides Gnome, KDE, and mozilla, does other major software in Linux have used or decide to shift to use fontconfig (or even with Xft, ft2)? For example, OOo, Ghostscript, gnome office, koffice? As I think that, one of the fontconfig adv is to ease to management of fonts, or configuring new fonts in the system, without applying fontconfig for other major software (esp OOo and GS), user (including me, sure) will still need to waste their time to configure a font for different system, am I right??

Re: [Fonts]problem with xftcache
Hi, Starting this morning, I'm not able to run xftcache on any of my font directory. I am getting Can't scan directory... on each of the directories. I can't find any way of dumping more information, so I'm in the dark. If anyone has any ideas on what might be causing this, please let me know. This is a problem for me, because this is causing the 'apt-get upgrade' of my Debian sid installation to fail. Xf86 Version: 4.2.1 (deb revision #3) What have you upgraded? In you've upgraded to use Xft2, with fontconfig (libfontconfig.so.1, and libXft.so.2), you should set the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Then, use fc-cache, to pre-cache the font meta data. fc-cache should be used instead of xftcache in this case. If you say no for the above ans, you should tune your /etc/X11/XftConfig file.

[Fonts]A problem on using fonttootf problem
Hi, I have recently trying to use the fonttootf to convert a bdf font into otf. But there is a few problem and I'm not sure it the problem is from the bdf font, fonttootf or freetype? First, the bdf font is encoding in Big5 (to be exact the encoding should be Big5-HKSCS). When I run the fonttootf, Seqfault!! I use gdb to take a look and found that, the cause is the absent of a 'FAMILY_NAME' so freetype just set the face-family_name to 0 and the when full_name = malloc(strlen(face-family_name) + 1); occurs inside read.c:81 of the fontofotf, it bombs. As the font is originally grab from internet, the there is no the property for a long time (since I use it and til now), nothing goes wrong in before. I start to check the bdf document inside XFree (I can know about these only document regarding bdf). Inside that document it has no specify the family_name is required. On the other hand, freetype seems to accept the absent of family_name also. And one of my question is does the family_name property is a must of BDF, or X, and is there any other spec or the likes for BDF fonts?? My another question is solely freetype oriented. Why the API for the bdf driver seems missing?? The reason I'm quite concerns to changing the bdf big5 encoded fonts is, for chinese, public domain TTF is totally unacceptable at small point size. In the past years, I start to use a 12pt bdf chinese fonts, it is excellent. And my thought is to convert this bdf to otf, or even get a means (I still don't know how :P) to combine the bitmap with existing Public Domain TTF. This may be another goods news for chinese. Even I have added the 'FAMILY_NAME' prop into the bdf font, the program still can't complete : ( as the reason is the bdf font is encoded in Big5, BUT fonttootf does only select UNICODE. How can I solve it. I am now start studying the freetype2, so, for the problem above, any pointer or sugguest is good enough, as I don't mind to modified the fonttootf for my self use!!

[Newbie]Compiling X 4.2
Hi, I have some question on compiling X, my box is Linux RedHat7.2 based (with a lot of changes.) The previous version I use is XFree864.1 and now I want to compile XFree86-4.2.1. I've copied the xf86site.def as host.def. And modify the host.def as I wanted, I 'make World' than. And it reports Full build of Release 6.6 of the X Window System complete. So, I assume it really build complete, but actually, I find libX11.so doesn't exists at all. I find that, many other libraries are there, but just libX11. I think it may be due to my misconfig'd host.def, isn't?? Which option is related to this problem, I have revisit the host.def, but have no idea!! Also, it seems that, a lot of option inside host.def can control the build product. In other words, the option is instructing the build script to build something or not to something. Where is the definitive list of those option? 'xf86site.def'??

Re: [Newbie]XFree86 4.2.0 configuration questions
Hi, 1) When i run 'XFree86 -configure' the program tells me that the glide library is missing. I am running a GeForce2 MX400 AGP graphics accelerator. Do i need to resolve this problem? If so, where do i get the library files i need? Not 'glide' is only for tdfx?? When i add the line 'Option Protocol usb' to the XF86Config.new file, the program tells me that this is not a valid protocol. Most Usb mouse I've tried is using the 'IMPS/2' as the mouse protocol, I'm not sure, if it's a rule for the world, but it workth to give it a try :) 3) The last problem is the most frustrating. Currently, i can only boot linux in Single User mode. This is because whenever i try another style, the loading process reaches the X font server and stalls indefinitely.

[Fonts]Problems occur when I'm going to compile Galeon2
Hi, I have noticed the things on Galeon2, from the website and going to try it out.

[Fonts]Italic and oblique feature in fontconfig
Hi,
I have a question on font.conf.
In font.conf, we can set up a match target=font for oblique/italic font,
using
the feature from freetype. Hence, when the apps select a italic sans font, by
the
series of match/edit operation, a pre-configured font(s) will used for
different
lang. In my understanding, using the default font.conf file, when a
sans-12:oblique,
the effective font being used is a the preferred font PLUS a scaling with the
matrix
{1,.2,0.1}. When the font, is rendered. It is already scaled. The result will
be a
artificially transformated glyphs image.
But, how can I setting up the font.conf, so that, for every font-family, there
is a list of
entries like :
- AR PL Mingti2L Big5:style=Reguler
- AR PL Mingti2L Big5:style=Italic
As of the current situation, when apps requestion available fonts listing, and
present
the available font to user, obviously, there is no font file which can provide
the italic
Mingti2L font. Hence, the user will only see that, there is one Mingti2L font,
which is
style=Reguler, however, as the artificial scaling/italic is here, I wonder
if there is any
way for me to set up the config, so that, when apps request for fonts,
fontconfig will
also provide AR PL Mingti2L Big5:style=Italic.
Thx

Re: [Fonts]Storing the cached font (fonts.cache) information
Hi, I think I've some opinion on this ~ However, storing cached information in what is ostensibly a read-only directory is unfriendly and violates the FSH guidelines. This data is just cached versions of data available from the font files themselves and so the FSH says it should live (somehow) in /var/cache. Good move! Any directories not matching a configured prefix would map to themselves; this makes the existing configuration and cache files compatible. How do you resolve any fonts which doesn't located under /usr/share/fonts ? Some one like to put fonts under different mount points and for me, I put most of my TTF under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local . Is it possible to for this way : 1. Let's assume the caching directory is called FontCachePrefix/ 2. Add one additional mapping table under the FontCachePrefix/ 3. Such that, we lookup the cache for a specific directory by keeping the relation of each cache file and its' corresponding font directory. 4. So that, we don't need a complicated sub-dir. tree under our FontCachePrefix/ 5. The listing can be in binary to minmize the extrax cost for this additional table (file). 6. Finally, for each font directory, we can put the cache as something like path-to.cache or simply 1.cache, 2.cache etc. Does this seem like a good plan? Can anyone come up with a better way of moving the storage of fonts.cache into /var/cache? Yes, personally, I don't like cache placed around my fonts directory : ) Also, this will make reonly /usr partition for practical. But, /var/cache/fonts is already specified in the FHS, that, this directory is for dynamically generated fonts, I quote it here : 5.5.3 /var/cache/fonts : Locally-generated fonts (optional) 5.5.3.1 Purpose The directory /var/cache/fonts should be used to store any dynamically-created fonts. In particular, all of the fonts which are automatically generated by mktexpk must be located in appropriately-named subdirectories of /var/cache/fonts.[footnote 31] 5.5.3.2 Specific Options Other dynamically created fonts may also be placed in this tree, under appropriately-named subdirectories of /var/cache/fonts. Hence, I think, cooperation with FHS is needed or, we simply use another prefix. Though, I think /var/cache/fonts should be the better, as I like the style what fontconfig do. I hope that, the combination ft + fc can be adopted more widely. Zenith Lau ___ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
[Fonts]About Fcpackage and Li18nux2K.
Hi, I have recently read the Li18nux2K. The globalization spec. from li18nux.org. but it seems that, there is no any relation between fontconfig/Xft and this spec. IMHO, Li18nux2K regulate and standardize the direction of i18n while, fontconfig/Xft is complete font management for fonts and the next trend in drawing in X. Why fontconfig/Xft doesn't appear in that spec. ? On the other hand, I remember this is some projects on fonts and type service from Li18nux.org. I afraid there will be two set of facility regard fonts handling in further, if there is no cooperation between fontconfig/Xft and li18nux.

Re: [Fonts]Storing the cached font (fonts.cache) information
Hi, Any directories not matching a configured prefix would map to themselves; this makes the existing configuration and cache files compatible. How do you resolve any fonts which doesn't located under /usr/share/fonts ? The prefix mapping would be configurable; add a map from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to /var/cache/fontconfig/x11-fonts and you'll get your cache files for fonts in the standard X directories stored in /var/cache/fontconfig/x11-fonts. 2. Add one additional mapping table under the FontCachePrefix/ I can either store the mapping table in a file or directly in the file system; I don't have a strong preference, but using the file system is likely to involve fewer but more complicated system calls during application startup. It might also involve a slight bit of overhead. The advantage is that there aren't any synchronization issues; each cache file is accessable without reference to a separate file. It seems like that should be more robust in many ways. Sorry, do you mean that, store the mapping table in the file system, you are talking about the first idea? Anyway, I agree that additional table in a file is less robust and involve more overhead. For the configurable prefix mapping, how do it exists? Also it is permissable that, there are many dir in the fonts.conf. Is it possible to store the mapping as properties of the dir elements? But, /var/cache/fonts is already specified in the FHS, that, this directory is for dynamically generated fonts, I quote it here : Sigh. We'll use /var/cache/fontconfig then. I don't really care. Though, I think /var/cache/fonts should be the better, as I like the style what fontconfig do. To some extent, we can ask if a slight reinterpretation of the FSH can be permitted in this case. Ok.

[Fonts]Query about Xft2 and Pango, GDK dependency.
Hi all !! I have download the fcpackage (02-07-17) tarball and I have just upgrade the freetype libs to 2.1.2. I am going to install the fcpackage libs and also gdk, pango stuffs. But I'd like to ask about the dependency problem first. I've read some previous post regarding 'fontconfig, xft2, play together', but I think there is no ans for me, So I post a new one for this!! At this point, I know that, Xft2 is derived from xft1 which font config management function is split into fontconfig libs. and Xft2 doesn't requires xrender; pango and gdk do require Xft1, originally, but should be work fine with Xft2 and friends. OK, do I have some wrong interpretation?? If there is, pls correct me : ). When configuring and compiling fontconfig, I find that, I can't control the configure script to install the pkgconfig file (.pc) to /usr/lib/pkgconfig, while install others under /usr/X11R6 .. and finally I just manually put the fontconfig.pc into where I want. It is a fact or a convention that, we should install the .pc file with same libprefix as other so files within the same package ? Or, I can config it via some means, or anything else ?? While, I'm going to compile the libs, I started from fontconfig, then, Xft (should be v2), yet, I find that, the make install overwrite the original includes dir of Xft1. Is it neccessary to install Xft2 and Xft1 parallelly? Or just override the Xft1 with Xft2 ?? Before I compile and install the Xft2, I've tried to compile the Xft1, but, I don't know how to configure the process, as I can't find the configure script ... what should I do?? It's also the same situation for Xrender libs. Afterall, does all these four libs is necessary? To compile and install it ?? What's the dependency of these libs ? And what's the config file for this ?? /etc/fonts/fonts.config or /etc/X11/XftConfig?? While studying the configure files, and likes inside, it seems that, Xft1 will use fontconfig if there exist. For Xft2, it still require Xrender and also fontconfig. When I run configure in pango, it haven't detect anything about fontconfig. It also doesn't detect the freetype, and Xft header correctly. I am totally stalled on it... any idea to solve it?? checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config checking for FT_New_Face in -lfreetype... yes checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes checking freetype/internal/tterrors.h usability... no checking freetype/internal/tterrors.h presence... no checking for freetype/internal/tterrors.h... no checking for FT_Get_First_Char... yes checking for XRenderFindFormat in -lXrender... yes checking for XftFontOpen in -lXft... yes checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h usability... no checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h presence... no checking for X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h... no Sorry for my long post, filled with Questions !!

Re: [Fonts]Question on xft font library.
Keith, thanks for your patient to answer these!! 1. It seems that XFT is so good, so what's about the conventional fonts module inside X, like the xtt, freetype, type1, etc... The X server can still provide fonts for applications not yet ported to Xft. These modules will be useful as long as you have some older applications left around. Do you mean that, these two module is stable enough, and no active development works is carried on these? 3. If I want to use XFT, should I use DRI modules?? The older Xft did require the Render extension, but all XFree86-based X servers have provided that for over a year now, including those built from sources directly from the DRI project. The new Xft (not yet released, but in CVS) doesn't even need Render and will work on any X server. I have heard something about Xft2, I even get a copy of it from somewhere, I forget, but it is binary. I remember that, I can't find the source from that site. Anyway, what's the version of Xft which is considered latest, and what's the version included in XFree86-4.2? I also heard about fontconfig, by the paper on you web site, but is it include in XFree4.2? Again, what's the current version. May I have some more references relating to fontconfig? Though, I know that these two libraries (Xft, and fontconfig) is develop and maintain by Keith, but does it have a official website, or these two library won't have a website due to the fact that, it is under XFree?? 6. In xtt, the ttcap functions is useful for chinese fonts (I am a Chinese), however, does freetype provide this, or xft provide this?? 7. If similar functions of ttcap is not available in xft and freetype currently, will it been in the todo list later. ttcap isn't relevant for Xft. Xft provides full support for all TrueType and Type1 fonts, and has some special support for Han languages to ensure that the right fonts are used in each locale. Xft supports a large number of rendering configuration options for fonts. The subsetting options aren't relevant as Xft always incrementally rasterizes fonts. Does incrementally rasterizes fonts means, the cache mechanism for inside Xft, ie. Xft will only rasterizes glyphs on demand, right? but I don't understand, why those subsetting options aren't releveant for Xft. IMHO, I just think that, to handle such functionality, I can add these function within freetype, or do something else on top of it. For the fontconfig, and Xft, as these two is responsible for the query fonts, and get glyphs, and render it on X. It should handle the case that, alias a font with regular face to italic or bold, also, get the desired glyphs (transformed) for the client application. Does my logic right, or stupid ?? I want to this answer as this direction is right, as Gnome and Kde is shifting to use Xft, enable the function (bold/italic transformation) would benefit more than any other possible solution.

[I18n]Help: TinyX, Input Methods and Locale.
Dear All, I am currently writing an Input Method for the TinyX environment on an in house StrongARM board (very much like the Compaq iPAQ). I'm using IMdKit (yes, I know it's kind of outdated...) to develop the IM. The IM has been set to support en_US, zh_TW and C locales. A sample application written in GTK+ was used. GTK+ on this system is version 1.2.10. I've set the LC_ALL to be en_US, (and of course, XMODIFIERS to point to the IM name) and when running the IM and sample application (running IM before application), I noted the following: 1. IM reports the GTK+ application of C locale. 2. GTK+ application reports IM of C locale. 3. When IM commits a string to the application, the application receives the event, but the received string is NULL. On my system, X11's locale directory is at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale, and a symbolic link at /usr/lib/X11/locale points to it too. This directory was copied off from a x86 Linux system. As for glibc's locale directory, I've store it at /usr/lib/locale (on my x86 Linux system, it's stored at /usr/share/locale). What else am I missing? Am I making sense?
