Bug#121900: xlibs: glibc locales not listed in X's locale.alias
On Tue, Nov 11, 2003 at 12:08:57PM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Package: xlibs Version: 4.2.1-12.1 Severity: normal It looks as if many of the locales in the original list submitted for this bug are not supported by the X libraries. Can you elaborate on this statement, please? There are also some though where it is just a case of the necessary alias not appearing in the X locale.alias file. As far as I can see these are: # Previously missing aliases generated for Debian by locale_fix da_DK.ISO-8859-15 da_DK.ISO8859-15 en_GB.ISO-8859-15 en_GB.ISO8859-15 sv_SE.ISO-8859-15 sv_SE.ISO8859-15 Do we need to wait for upstream to fix these or can we add them to the debian version of the locale.alias file as a temporary patch? They can be added. For reference, the above list was generated by the this perl script: I'd like to include this in the debian/scripts directory of the xfree86 source package, but before I can do that we need to sort out its copyright. If the script is your work (and/or you're in touch with those whose work it [also] is) and you're willing to license it under DFSG-compatible terms, please let me know. -- G.

My personal wishlist is, in a pretty decent order: a) 4.3 into sarge, b) the SDK with it, c) xlibs/xbase-data broken up and shipping fd.o alternatives, d) better config file handling. -- Daniel Stone[EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian X Strike Force:http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/ pgpdzRrnjHjBY.pgp Description: PGP signature

X-Debbugs-Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: xbase-clients: preinst script truncates error string on line 311 Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.2.1-13 Severity: normal Tags: patch This bug concerns the preinstallation script for base-clients_4.2.1-13_i386.deb. The DEBIAN/preinst script trashes the error string on line 311, preventing the user from knowing what made the script fail (in my case, building the plain vanilla official XFree86 4.3.0 sources and installing them upsets the debs using slightly different symlink setups). Line 310 will report the important info needed to fix the problem: errmsg=$symlink exists and is not a symbolic link; this package cannot But on line 311 it's truncated: errmsg=be installed until this A small mistake but it caused me much frustration!

Re: Bug#218919: Call for OOo user interface font size testers
After I've configured dpi correctly on all servers, I do get correct font
sizes everywhere in OpenOffice - both with 1.1.0-2 and 1.1.0-2.3pre1
What have I done:
- physically measured the visible picture dimensions for monitors, and
added correct DisplaySize parameter to XF86Config-4 (Section Monitor).
For 17'' monitor, it is 320x240 mm.
- removed any -dpi XXX parameters from command-line of X (in my case, X
command line is in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers)
- added the following script as /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95dpi:
dpi=`xdpyinfo |
awk '/resolution/ {split($2, x, x); print(int((x[1]+x[2])/2))}'`
echo Xft.dpi: $dpi | xrdb -merge
So both X protocol-level dpi and Xft.dpi are calculated to correct value
automatically depending on selected display resolution and physical
monitor size.
After that, I do get correct font sizes.
Even more, the displayed size of paper sheet displayed by OpenOffice.org at
scale=100% is the same as the size of physical paper sheet!
Also I get the same physical font size on different display resolutions. I
verified it, it works.
Perhaps such auto-calculation of dpi should become Debian default.
[Sorry, I pressed send to early and a draft went to debian-openoffice]
Hi,
I've uploaded 1.1.0-2.3pre1 packages of openoffice.org and
openoffice.org-bin to the unstable section of our mirrors [1], and I'd
be grateful if people who have had problems with the user interface font
size in 1.1.0-1 and 1.1.0-2 could try them out before they go to
unstable, and let us know the results.
Here is a summary of the font changes that have been made that I am
aware of since we started incorporating Xmian's patches, to help you
understand OOo's behaviour between the versions:
1.1.0-1
* Added Ximian fontconfig patches. With these, OOo queries
fontconfig for a list of available fonts, but all other font
displaying/sizing/formatting etc is still done in the usual
way. That's why OOo did not start supporting any other
fontconfig features such as ttc support, artifical italics,
antialising etc.
* Added Ximian patch to remove workarounds for displays 96 DPI,
so that UI fonts and documents zoomed at 100% show at true size
on displays with a lower DPI.
1.1.0-2
* KDE integration: Previously, OOo only used the name of the
default KDE font. Patched to also retrieve the font size,
italic/bold setting for both the general font and the menu font.
* Increased default font size for non-KDE/Gnome users from '8' to
'12' (not sure if this really is a point size). That was a
mistake; backed out for -3.
1.1.0-2.3pre1
* Backed out patch to increase default font size; it now only
slightly enlarges it (maybe this needs removing completely?)
* Added patch to make it possible to select which desktop
integration OOo chooses. Set OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to 'gnome',
'kde' or 'none' to force which desktop integration OOo uses.
* OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde
* OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
* OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde
* KDE integration: Fixed the 'use system UI fonts' setting - this
never worked in KDE integration mode. Added Nikita's patch to
check KDEDIR and KDEHOME for a user-supplied KDE directory.
* Gnome and KDE integration: Added gui-scale-ruler, which reduces
the toolbar font slightly to improve the ruler appearance.
* Gnome integration: merged openoffice.org-gnome back into the
main package, since most users did not seem to find it. The
group of users who had installed openoffice.org but not -gnome
will now find their desktop integration works again and the
icons are back.
So, let the testing begin :) I've purposely not uploaded to unstable
yet because I'm not sure if there's still something I've overlooked. If
you do still feel something is wrong, I'd appreciate the following
information:
- Which desktop integration mode you use (and double check that OOo
really did detect your desktop correctly by using OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to
confirm)?
- Which DPI setting is your X server set to? Is it the correct setting
for your display size and resolution? Is the Xft.dpi property set?
- Can you provide a screenshot, if OOo is wildly different from other
programs on your desktop?
Thanks for your feedback,
Chris

ftp.freenet.de; other mirrors may not have synced yet.
Bug#220448: xserver-xfree86: Some fonts simply don't show up, adobe courier for example
Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I don't understand why you think any of the above are X server problems; they all sound like client-side issues to me. Because a) they affect more than one client, konqueror and mozilla to be specific. and b) I don't think they started when I updated either konqueror or mozilla, but rather when I updated X -- however I don't know precisely what version that would have been at. I thought it would have had something to do with the font packages, perhaps the location of something had changed or perhaps the font server daemon had changed behaviour in some way and needed to be reconfigured. But I agree, it could well be a client-side problem. Or possibly a server-client interaction, perhaps some new font interface for antialiasing or something that the clients needed to be updated in some way to make use of. It's also possible both konqueror and mozilla are using a common shared library for client-side rendering of fonts, something I'm not up-to-date on at all. I'm basically just stumped on where to start to debug this particular problem. It's such a high level failure that I don't even know where to start to track down the actual bug. -- greg

Can you elaborate on this statement, please? I am taking the locale.dir file (as opposed to locale.alias) as the definitive list of locales supported by the X libraries with the name of the locale as it would appear in LANG etc. on the right. For each C library locale, if I can't find an entry in locale.dir or in locale.alias I apply some transformations to coerce the character set name into the format used in locale.dir and locale.alias. If I still can't find an entry in locale.dir I assume it isn't supported, while if I can find an entry in locale.dir I generate an alias line to add to locale.alias to map it correctly. I'd like to include this in the debian/scripts directory of the xfree86 source package, but before I can do that we need to sort out its copyright. If the script is your work (and/or you're in touch with those whose work it [also] is) and you're willing to license it under DFSG-compatible terms, please let me know. The script is my work and you may release it under the GPL. Steve.
Setting DisplaySize in dexconf-generated XF86Config ?
Some experiments show that to get best results with OpenOffice.org (and
probably other packages), X server's DPI value should be set to real
monitor DPI.
XFree86 seems to have an excellent way to do that.
In XF86Config-4, in section Monitor, one can write
DisplaySize 320 240
and specify physical monitor dimensions that way.
Using that information, X server will calculate correct DPI value.
Some modern software (xft/fontconfig-based) uses Xft.dpi resource; this
may be set by adding something like
dpi=`xdpyinfo |
awk '/resolution/ {split($2, x, x); print(int((x[1]+x[2])/2))}'`
echo Xft.dpi: $dpi | xrdb -merge
to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95dpi
Perhaps a question about physical monitor dimensions should be added to
xserver-xfree86 debconf templates. It should have pre-defined values for
common situations (such as 320x240 mm for 17'' monitors), and allow user
to enter explicit values if he wishes (or not to set DisplaySize at all).
I believe it's much better than just assume 100dpi by default (as it is
now).
Idea for smoother upgrade from pre-4.3 XFree to 4.3
Hello. To get correctly configured russian keyboard In pre-4.3 xkb configuration, we had to write Option XkbLayout ru In 4.3, we have to write Option XkbLayout us,ru because setting it to just ru now gives only russian letters input, instead of both english and russian (which is basically required). I guess the same situation may be with other languages also. The upgrade from pre-4.3 versions of xserver-xfree86 package will be smoother, if the upgrade scripts will change the xkb settings to new style automatically. Or at least warn the user that he needs the change.

Matt, we've added patches for this to both trunk and branches/4.3.0/sid;

Hmm, that's pretty bizzare, given this stanza:
/* Deal with spurious kernel header change */
#if defined(LINUX_VERSION_CODE) defined(KERNEL_VERSION)
# if LINUX_VERSION_CODE = KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,42)
# define rate period
# endif
#endif
AFAICT, the only kernel headers on there are 2.4.21-sparc, and it should
only be tripping #define rate period if the version is = 2.5.42 (this
is the case for both branches/4.3.0/sid and trunk, FWIW, and the only
mention of 'period' in the extracted directories is protected by the
L_V_C #if.
Shit, *sigh*. I take it you don't still have the build tree kicking
around? If not, could you please install the build-deps somewhere on
vore so I can have a poke at this?
Cheers,
Daniel
