Description Gordan Bobic 2013-12-16 14:56:04 UTC

Description of problem:
bitmap-miscfixed-fonts package contained the MiscFixed font is missing. This wouldn't be such a big deal if this wasn't the most legible small font on high-dpi screens.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7 public beta.

Additional info:
This is a repeat of:

I'm seeing this in the repo here. 

<arch>/os/Packages/bitmap-fixed-fonts-0.3-20.el7.noarch.rpm

Comment 3 Gordan Bobic 2013-12-16 23:34:27 UTC

It doesn't seem to contain the MiscFixed font, or at least it doesn't make the font available for selection in gnome-terminal.

Comment 4 Pravin Satpute 2013-12-17 08:02:01 UTC

In the merge review of bitmap-fonts #225617 . We extracted ucs-miscfixed-fonts package from it.

Comment 5 Gordan Bobic 2013-12-17 12:05:18 UTC

Meaning what, exactly?

bitmap-fixed-fonts-0.3-20.el7 contains only 9x15 font.

The smallest font in bitmap-miscfixed-fonts-0.3-15.el6 is 4x6, with the smallest perfectly formed, legible size being 5x8, which is a massive improvement on density over 9x15.

Without a legible small font using low res screens (<= 1366x768) for any kind of command line work is far more difficult than it should be.

Comment 6 Pravin Satpute 2013-12-18 05:27:20 UTC

We have modified bitmap-fonts as per packaging guideline.

There is no change, just we have one extra package now, that is ucs-miscfixed-fonts. 

So everything is intact.

Apologies for bit confusing line in #4

Comment 7 Gordan Bobic 2013-12-18 07:19:28 UTC

Except there appears to be no ucs-miscfixed-fonts package on the RHEL7b ISOs.

Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2013-12-18 18:29:45 UTC

Gordan - it should be in the Optional repo for you at the moment.

Pravin: are you OK with this being installed with @fonts?

Comment 9 Pravin Satpute 2013-12-19 06:24:45 UTC

Yes, it should be. Thanks Bill.
