[Bug 180619] Re: Xorg module VNC cores on keyboard input
Be advised that Debian bug 444697 fixes this bug by REMOVING libvnc.so. And I quote: Removed libvnc.so that do not work with recent xorg. This is a workaround but solves the grave fault, closes: #444697. No longer provides x0vnc-server. This tacitly suggests that Xorg does not support libvnc.so at this time. In any case bug 444697 does not solve the problem. Debian merely removed the feature that fails and closes the bug. It is terribly irresponsible to close the bug after removing the feature that causes the bug from a project management standpoint--the non-working libvnc.so is now orphaned and completely untracked (there is no bug I can find that tracks non-working libvnc.so). The closing of this bug implies it to be fixed when it was not. For what it's worth, the vino remote desktop feature now built-in to the GNOME desktop is worthless to remote users because it only works if the user is already logged in. This is very unfortunately for those of us who rely on libvnc: if you're logged out you cannot log in remotely!!

Mingming, thanks for the comments. I suspect that the user's settings in fontconfig are not being honored when an application asserts a setting. This needs to be addressed. It indeed might be a libcairo thing. There is still alot of work going on in the new rendering pipeline so perhaps when the dust clears, so to speak, this issue will be resolved and there will be a new place where this kind of setting is supposed to be asserted.

The problem is not with the LCD filter, it's whether the Ubuntu copy of freetype is changing the autohint style. When choosing each of the four options the fonts normally change their shapes in obvious ways. In Ubuntu gutsy, only the none and full buttons make any difference. Someone in gutsy changed the medium and full buttons to do nothing more than turn on and off the monospace lcd filter to keep things simple, but this appears to break the autohinting configuration. This could be due to the fact that Ubuntu normally ships with the autohinter disabled. In any case this needs to be fixed so that the buttons do what they say, that is, adjust autohinter hint styles. In addition, manually editting ~/.fonts.conf to use the various hint styles does not seem to make any difference so this is therefore a problem with Ubuntu's fontconfig patches. -- fontconfig does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200707 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 200707] [NEW] fontconfig does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: fontconfig fontconfig-2.4.2-1.2ubuntu4 does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull options for the autohinter. When I ask fontconfig to use the authinter and specify hintstyle as hintslight, hintmedium, or hintfull there is no perceptible difference on the screen. Doing this on a similar Fedora 8 system shows perceptible differences with all settings. I also tried downloading and compiling freetype2 with the bytecode interpreter forced off so the autohinter is always used. The font rendering is certainly the autohinter but there is again no perceptible difference between hintslight, hintmedium, and hintfull. I suspect but cannot prove that this might be the result of the fontconfig hack that was made to enable/disable the legacy LCD filter for monospaced fonts in gutsy.

[Bug 200713] [NEW] user's ~/.fonts.conf should be made authoritative
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: fontconfig Two issues in fontconfig 50-user.conf and 51-local.conf. In /etc/fonts/conf.d there is a file named 50-user.conf that loads the user's own ~/.fonts.conf file. There is also 51-local.conf that is supposed to load local configuration elements. The directives in these two files are overridden by up to 14 more root- owned imutable configuration files, most of which are user-impacting, therefore the user as well as the site adminsitrator are both left without the ability to make some important font choices. The /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf and /etc/fonts/conf.avail/50-user.conf should be moved to the last possible location, such as 98-user.conf and 99-user.conf so the user and the site administrator both have the opportunity to override any configuration element in fontconfig without becoming root and adjusting /etc/fonts/conf.d directly. I have tested this to be true in Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy. This also serious affects KDE which uses ~/.fonts.conf exclusively for font configuration (GNOME uses gconf instead and the problems are somewhat avoidable in GNOME). ** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- user's ~/.fonts.conf should be made authoritative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200713 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 14310] Re: fontconfig don't use autohinter as default
Per the Freetype.org developers the bytecode interpreter is not to be used by any distribution because of the TrueType patents held by Microsoft and Apple. Mr. Shuttleworth's blog does not address the patent issues on the bytecode interpreter. Does Ubuntu pay for the license for all the users of the Ubuntu distribution? We need to see that in writing. If it's not licensed then the use of the bytecode interpreter must be disabled in Ubuntu at compilation time. Has this not become a top issue for Ubuntu already? -- fontconfig don't use autohinter as default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14310 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
