Bug#354537: lmodern: lmtypewriter10 is unexpectedly all-caps
Package: lmodern Version: 0.99.3-2 Severity: normal In Gnome font preferences, LMTypewriter10 Regular is the same as CapsRegular.

reassign 354537 gnome-control-center retitle 354537 Problems with font selection thanks Hi, Bruce McIntyre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In Gnome font preferences, LMTypewriter10 Regular is the same as CapsRegular. Indeed, I can reproduce this. Also OSF seem to be the default for all Typewriter styles which, to me, is typographically strange, especially in the context of a terminal font... I don't understand what OSF means. As a point of detail, LMTypewriter was not designed as a terminal font, but as a font for printing text in a typewriter style (i.e., it was not really designed for on-screen use, though it is now possible thanks to FreeType). I am reassigning this bug to gnome-control-center because: 1. I checked the typewriter entries in lmodern's defoma hints file and I cannot see any mistake. 2. The command: xterm -fa LMTypewriter10:style=Regular -fs 10 gives the expected result, i.e. LMTypewriter10 in Regular style, not small caps. I suspect it may be a more general GNOME issue because I see similar problems with gucharmap (altough I seem to recall that the first time I tried after reading this bug report, the problem wasn't there in gucharmap... strange). I also noticed similar problems in gnome-font-properties with LMRoman10 but the following tests with xterm are all successful, again: % xterm -fa LMRoman10:style=Regular -fs 10 % xterm -fa LMRoman10:style=CapsRegular -fs 10 % xterm -fa LMRoman10:style=Oblique -fs 10 % xterm -fa LMRoman10:style=CapsOblique -fs 10 (though the spacing is not suitable for terminal use, which is expected since LMRoman10 is not a fixed-width font) Feel free to reassign the bug if you find evidence that it belongs to lmodern. At present, I cannot find any. Regards, -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OldStyle Figures instead of Lining Figures. I assume that this is related to a fontconfig problem which I tried to track down with the OpenOffice.org people for quite some time without success. It seems that fontconfig does not necessarily export all the properties correct (like Expert Font set, example: Utopia vs Utopia Expert), or OsF fonts.

That is possible, yes, because the same problem happens with oowriter. -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
