[Fonts]Fontconfig + patched qt-3.0.5 doesn't allow bitmap fixed font

2002-10-18 Thread Paul de Vrieze 
Yesterday I installed the XFt-2 enabled QT. Now running konsole (the kde 
terminal application) It started out with very wide characters (from arial) 
This is caused by the fact that the font selection mechanism refuses to match 
the -misc-fixed-medium-r-* bitmapped font. I've tried out several 
configurations but none helped (except aliassing to a monospaced font, not 
arial).

I'll attach a log from starting konsole, and my font.conf file.

Re: [Fonts]Fontconfig + patched qt-3.0.5 doesn't allow bitmap fixed font

2002-10-18 Thread ismail donmez 
I have the same problem and I think this is because
fontconfig uses hinting for all fonts by default. I
*think* ( provided not sure ) turning hinting off
would solve the problem completely. But I dont know
how to turn off hinting completely in fonts.conf.
Maybe you know how?

This happened to me with xft1 too , and I used David
Chester's nohinting patch for Xft1 and it worked.

Hope that Helps

 Basically Konsole is looking for a font that isn't there so it
 falls back to the default. The only thing to do about this is
 to patch the hardcoded default fonts.

 The attached is a patch from the Red Hat 8 KDE packages to do
 this. (I'm not sure if it's the final version or not -- it's
 just what was sitting in my patches directory.) It uses
 'monospace' - the standard fontconfig name for the default
 monospace font - instead of 'fixed'

 For your own use, you can also just select a different font
 with the font selector in Konsole, of course.

I allready found the problem. The problem is the fact that the fixed font is 
not found. This is because all my pcf fonts are gzipped by default. For some 
reason fontconfig doesn't recognize them in this case. I will check whether I 
can come up with some patch for this.

The problem is indeed at the FreeType level.  When I have some time,
I'll implement a decompressing filter for FreeType.  It will use
petabytes of memory, but will provide a short-term solution for people
with petabytes of memory.

The long-term solution is to dump the PCF format.  This won't happen
in time for 4.3.0.  (Not to imply that the former will.)

I allready checked the freetype lists, and came to the conclusion that appart 
from a short discussion in february nothing is being done about pcf files for 
that memory reasons. At the moment I uncompressed the fonts, but a real 
solution should be better.
