[Touch-packages] [Bug 1824260] Re: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields
Affects me using fully updated Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS I used the changes noted in your fontconfig merge request (applied to files in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/ 30-metric-aliases.conf and 45-latin.conf) and it cleared up kerning issues I was having with a different PDF form!

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1824260] Re: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields
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. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues #262 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues/262 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824260 Title: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields Status in Poppler: New Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: What I expected to happen: I am filling out the SS-5 Social Security Administration form (see attached).

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`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824260 Title: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields Status in Poppler: New Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: What I expected to happen: I am filling out the SS-5 Social Security Administration form (see attached).

One thing I know is that no Ubuntu font is mentioned at all in the default fontconfig configuration, neither on Ubuntu nor Kubuntu. But the dconf settings differ. Ubuntu: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Ubuntu 11' $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Ubuntu Mono 13' Kubuntu: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Noto Sans, 10' $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Monospace 11' My gut feeling tells me that the comma in 'Noto Sans, 10' should not be there, and that it might cause confusion. This is one thing I would try on Kubuntu: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Noto Sans 10' However, while I checked this on my groovy installs, the bug reporter seems to be on Kubuntu 18.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1824260] Re: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields
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.  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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824260 Title: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields Status in Poppler: New Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: What I expected to happen: I am filling out the SS-5 Social Security Administration form (see attached).
