Bug#370708: xfonts-wqy: Please follow the *INSTALL*
Package: xfonts-wqy Version: 0.7.0-4-1 Followup-For: Bug #370708 Current fc-list can list WenQuanYi Bitmap Song without problem. However, it can not be used / showed correctly. In all freetype / libxft based applications, select WenQuanYi will not work. Those characters showed on screen will be other fonts' glyphs, not WenQuanYi's. As Haifeng Chen have said, it is better to package BDF or PCF version. It is just not the right time to do it with TTF version. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xfonts-wqy depends on: ii xfonts-utils 1:1.0.0-4 X Window System font utility progr xfonts-wqy recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#370708: xfonts-wqy: Please follow the *INSTALL*
Package: xfonts-wqy Version: 0.7.0-4-1 Severity: important According to the TTF Package Installation provided by WQY. This font file is a special type of TTF, called SFNT (or sbit only) TTF. It is supported by FreeType 2.x or later. Unfortunately, ttfmkdir and fc-cache can't recognize this format. We should not use those tools to generate configuration files.(ttfmkdir failed to create fonts.dir, fc-cache put wrong information into fonts.cache-1 and make fc-match take more time to output a match). So we should use the hand-written configurations files shipped with the upstream package. Otherwise the package is useless. PS: In my opinion, it's better to package BDF or PCF version. It is just not the right time to do it with TTF version. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-ck11 Locale: LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xfonts-wqy depends on: ii xfonts-utils 1:1.0.0-4 X Window System font utility progr xfonts-wqy recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Best Regards Haifeng Chen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
