------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 23 22:29:26 -0800 2005 ------- Could you consider about a font path look up mechanism for RedHat and Fedora Core variants? What about, for instance, use of /usr/sbin/chkfontpath regardless of existence of font servers if /usr/sbin/chkfontpath exists on the system? Since X Window on Fedora Core normally does not include unix/:7100 in its font path, setup and soffice.bin seems not to call /usr/sbin/chkfontpath. psprint/source/fontmanager/fontmanager.cxx: void PrintFontManager::initialize( void* pInitDisplay ) if( ! bServerDirs && ( nPos = aPath.indexOf( ':' ) ) > 0 && ( !aPath.copy(nPos).equals( ":unscaled" ) ) ) { bServerDirs = true; getServerDirectories(); } void PrintFontManager::getServerDirectories() #ifdef LINUX /* * chkfontpath exists on some (RH derived) Linux distributions */ static const char* pCommands[] = { "/usr/sbin/chkfontpath 2>/dev/null", "chkfontpath 2>/dev/null" }; Problem: Consequently, neither setup nor soffice.bin of OOo 1.1.x 81(ja) cannot find any Japanese font files embedded in Fedora Core distributions from the beginning, which are intentionally not listed in the return values of XGetFontPath(). See issue 29794. Workaround: xset fp+ unix:/7100 ./setup ./soffice I have not confirmed this phenomenon on OOo 1.9, but the code around this looks identically. Impacts: Casual, potential users would hesitate to migrate to OOo/SO/SS because they might believe well made application software should behave properly without any workaround. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
