Bug#418998: fontconfig-config: for korean font, Baekmuk is obsolete

Please note that I am not the fontconfig maintainer. I just happen to be subscribed to the package's PTS and saw your bug report. As you suggest this, it seems to me that D-I should probably stop installing ttf-baekmuk when the installation language is Korean.

What about xfonts-baekmuk? Should they be dropped from there also? It depends on what our default desktop looks like. While ttf-unfonts is a much better choice in antialiased environment (GNOME/KDE) or for printing, it's almost unusable in non-antialiased environment (ie. traditional X apps). That's why baekmuk is used in bf-utf-source, while ttf-unfonts is used for G-I. If we can just ignore such traditional apps in the default desktop installation, it's ok to drop ttf-baekmuk and xfonts-baekmuk. -- Changwoo Ryu [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It depends on what our default desktop looks like. While ttf-unfonts is a much better choice in antialiased environment (GNOME/KDE) or for printing, it's almost unusable in non-antialiased environment (ie. traditional X apps). That's why baekmuk is used in bf-utf-source, while ttf-unfonts is used for G-I. If we can just ignore such traditional apps in the default desktop installation, it's ok to drop ttf-baekmuk and xfonts-baekmuk. I think it's clear, thanks for your answer. Based on Changwoo's answer, I suggest we keep baekmuk in korean-desktop. There are enough traditionnal X apps to make this package still useful enough for Korean-speaking users. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package: fontconfig-config Version: 2.4.2-1.2 Severity: wishlist Tags: l10n For korean font, ttf-baekmuk is almost dead. development is stop, people don't use it. I ask Baekmuk to be replaced with Unfont(ttf-unfonts) in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf, 13 line : Baekmuk Batang to UnBatang and 25, 35 line : Baekmuk Dotum to UnDotum Unfont is major nowadays. Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora also install ttf-unfonts default. and 20-fix-globaladvance.conf, it's for only Gulim.ttc Batang.ttc. it's MS korean font, not GPL. This scheme is from language-selector-common Ubuntu package : match target=font test name=lang compare=contains stringko/string /test test name=spacing compare=eq constdual/const /test edit name=spacing constproportional/const /edit edit name=globaladvance binding=strong boolfalse/bool /edit /match match target=font test name=lang compare=contains stringko/string /test test name=outline compare=eq boolfalse/bool /test test name=spacing compare=eq constmono/const constcharcell/const /test edit name=spacing constproportional/const /edit edit name=globaladvance binding=strong boolfalse/bool /edit /match I think it's more suitable. I'd attach a Ubuntu fontconfig file related ko_KR font. it would be helpful to adjust Debian nolatin.conf file. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4f-smp (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ko_KR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ko_KR.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fontconfig-config depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii gsfonts-x11 0.20 Make Ghostscript fonts available t ii msttcorefonts 1.8Installer for Microsoft TrueType c ii ttf-bitstream-vera1.10-7 The Bitstream Vera family of free ii ttf-dejavu2.15-1 Vera font family derivate with add ii ttf-freefont 20060501cvs-10 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii ucf 2.0020 Update Configuration File: preserv fontconfig-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * fontconfig/subpixel_rendering: Automatic * fontconfig/enable_bitmaps: false * fontconfig/hinting_type: Autohinter ko_KR Description: Binary data
