Package: libpango-1.0-0 Version: 1.46.0-2 Followup-For: Bug #939748 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Adding a NEWS entry explaining that support for these formats is gone would help prevent a lot of frustration for users (myself included) who were surprised after upgrading and got to go track down the issue. Maybe something like: Pango 1.44 no longer supports BDF & PCF (X11) bitmap fonts and Type 1. Upstream has switched from using Freetype to Harfbuzz for loading fonts, which means it no longer supports various old font formats including X11 bitmap fonts and Type 1 fonts. These however can be wrapped in the supported OpenType format, for details see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/386 and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BitmapFontConversion - -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (130, 'unstable-debug'), (130, 'unstable'), (120, 'experimental-debug'), (120, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libpango-1.0-0 depends on: ii fontconfig 2.13.1-4.2 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libfribidi0 1.0.8-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.64.4-1 ii libharfbuzz0b 2.6.7-1 ii libthai0 0.1.28-3 libpango-1.0-0 recommends no packages. libpango-1.0-0 suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHMEARECADMWIQTlAc7j4DAtSNRJJ0z7P4jCVepZ/gUCX1ZBJhUcYW50aG9ueUBk ZXJvYmVydC5uZXQACgkQ+z+IwlXqWf5/jgCfbkGaBEMR9d309ULzqp0a0y3W8aQA nRfTQXoAybbyHGAPFzULPnjA/dsx =/HOG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
