Please add a page on this font in the wiki to document this font (using the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_description_template template) Please make sure your other fonts are documented too. (This is used on pages like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_inclusion_history which are referenced in the distro release notes) 2. look at the gfs fonts for example to see how to fix the warning. We consider this kind of change a non-functionnal recoding 3. The TTF/OTF issue is currently being discussed in bug #455995.

Really, the quadratic splines which are made from the cubic ones really are virtually the same quality, and if you overlay both you can only really see it at very big sizes, certainly not the sizes you get out of your printer, let alone from your computer screen. Your brain also won't be able to tell which is the better curve (except you're some kind of superhuman with capabilities for visually making accurate derivatives of the curves... ;-) ) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

This problem occurs with repsect to changing the *Languages*, and making no changes to the fonts. The current question is whether rawhide for Fedora 10 has fixed the problem regarding a subset of the *Languages*. I'll answer when I can make a rawhide install, probably as soon as F10 Alpha. Daily rawhide is too unstable to run. Rawhide in Mock suffers from a lack of documentation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

Freetype can do automatic hinting as well if you want. And Fontforge can make automatic ttf hinting instructions as well. This is not an issue of ttf being better or worse than otf, but these otf having hinted added by FontForge and the ttf not. If you manually hint the ttfs, the situation will be the other way around. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

Summary: No OpenType https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455995 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-07-23 17:06 EST --- (In reply to comment #23) Vasile, are you saying that XeTeX can't use TrueType OpenType fonts and only handles CFF OpenType? No, XeTeX can handle both flavors of OpenType. I put handle in quotes because XeTeX internally generates an exteneded dvi (.xdv), which is then ran through a driver to produce pdf; I don't think postscript output is possible. One can tell XeTeX to write the xdv to a file, but I don't know of any viewers for xdv. On Linux the driver that converts xdv to pdf is xdvipdfmx. (On Macs one can also choose xdv2pdf, which makes use of AAT - Apple's Advanced Typography). So, font support on Linux is entirely dependent on what xdvipdfmx does. Given that the extended dvi stuff was originally developed for East Asian languaes, the English documentation is a bit spotty. Here's what I've been able to determine: - both TrueType and and OpenType/CFF are supported and are embedded in the pdf. - for both formats xdvipdfmx uses the CID encoding for the embedded font. XeTeX understands only UTF-8. The conversion of encodings is handled transparently by xdvipdfmx, and the pdf is searchable except for ligatures. (In contrast, pdftex 1.4 can handle those correctly). - there is confusion whether bare type-1 fonts are well supported or not by xdvipdfmx. I've seen things go both ways. The default fonts for XeTeX are Latin Modern, which come as type-1 (and work). Unfortunately, in Fedora you cannot select them manually (say after switching to another font set), because that requires the OTF files, which Fedora doesn't ship. TeXLive upstream includes both type-1 and OTF/CFF versions of Latin Modern. To further complicate this issue, direct type-1 support was apparently added in Feb 2008 for fonts that support the EU1 (TeX) encoding, which apparently is exactly Unicode. See this: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/euenc/. Insofar I refrained from filing a bug on Fedora's TeXLive for missing the Latin Modern OTF's... - finally, xdvipdfmx searches both the traditional TeX map paths and makes use of fontconfig to find fonts. I think fontconfig takes precedence. at least when PDFs are generated. I was living under the misguided impression that CFF was superior for printing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
