Bug#366994: xfonts-encodings: Absolute_path patch makes it out of work
Hi David, It's OK now. Thank you for your fix :-) On 5/15/06, David Nusinow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Hongzheng, On Sat, May 13, 2006 at 01:37:55AM +0800, Hongzheng Wang wrote: Subject: xfonts-encodings: Absolute_path patch makes it out of work Package: xfonts-encodings Version: 1:1.0.0-2 Severity: important Hi David, Recently, several bug reports have been composed for the problem of incorrect encodings file locating function, including 362722, 366097 and 366098. The bug that X11 encoding cannot find encodings file is, originally, due to the incorrect encoding-path in rules file of package libfontenc1. Fortunately, the wrong encoding path has been fixed in the latest version of package libfontenc1, say, 1.0.1-6. But the upgrade of package xfonts-encodings results in a simliar bug again. It seems that the absolute_path patch may not work, since it makes X11 applications cannot find a proper encodings file even when libfontenc1 does provide a right encoding-path. I have to downgrade xfonts-encodings from 1.0.0-3 to 1.0.0-2 to solve this problem. Could you please try the xfonts-encodings package at http://people.debian.org/~dnusinow/xfonts-encodings_1.0.0-4_all.deb and let me know if it's still broken? Thanks! - David Nusinow -- Hongzheng Wang

It seems that the absolute_path patch may not work, since it makes X11 applications cannot find a proper encodings file even when libfontenc1 does provide a right encoding-path. The problem seems to be that the absolute paths are broken, lacking crucial slashes that mkfontdir does *not* automatically supply: -p Specify a prefix that is prepended to the encoding file path names when they are written to the encodings.dir file. The prefix is prepended as-is. If a `/' is required between the prefix and the path names, it must be supplied explicitly as part of the prefix. -- Aaron M.
