[Bug 640845] Re: accented characters of CM fonts not available to inkscape
Alex Valavanis wrote on 2010-09-17: I'm not too familiar with how font rendering is actually performed. Can anyone help? Don't know how typesetting of the accented characters is done in LaTeX, but wrt to Inkscape: if a certain font does not contain the specific Unicode symbol / character, the font backend substitutes it from a different (fallback) font (if available) - the reporter should probably first verify whether the TTF files of the mentioned fonts actually contain those Unicode glyphs. An quick way to test is to use gtk-demo, and preview the same words with 'Pickers Fonts' (see attached screenshot with GTK+/X11 2.24.13, fontconfig 2.9.0, freetype 2.4.10, pango 1.30.1, and the cmr10 font downloaded from [1]). Fontforge can also be used to view the list of available glyphs of a font - it doesn't show any accented characters either for e.g. the TTF font cmr10. Likely the ComputerModern Unicode fonts [2] could be used as an alternative (they do include lots of accented characters). Proposing to close as 'Invalid' for Inkscape. - [1] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ttf-lyx [2] http://cm-unicode.sourceforge.net/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640845 Title: accented characters of CM fonts not available to inkscape To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/640845/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Same problem occurs for me in Gimp. Please see attachment.

Same problem with OpenOffice (attachment). I think it's reasonable to assume that this problem lies outside of Inkscape itself. I'm not too familiar with how font rendering is actually performed.

Also, please could you confirm that the fonts were installed from the ttf-lyx package? ** Also affects: lyx (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- accented characters of CM fonts not available to inkscape https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640845 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 640845] Re: accented characters of CM fonts not available to inkscape
Thanks Alex, yes, I confirm that the cmr10-gimp.png has incorrect typesetting of accented characters. BTW, couple of years ago there used to be (visually) similar problem in OpenOffice.org. It was not related to Computer Modern fonts however; if affected default fonts (and some others too, I think). That time it was easy to cure by loading missing fonts (which were not installed by default). PS I will try to recheck the other inkscape-related issue ASAP, hopefully today. -- accented characters of CM fonts not available to inkscape https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640845 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
