More info and discussion of the solution available in Debian bug tracking system: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=230840 Danilo, it looks like Valek has also added your changes in urw-fonts-1.0.7pre38.tar.bz2. closing bug as "fix in currentrelease" Yes, he actually improved those glyphs, so they're better than what I had. Thanks |
Most cyrillic characters that are used only in Serbian are incorrect in URW-CYR fonts by Valek Fillipov. I don't use RedHat, so I hesitated to report this, but I received many reports about people seeing "lowercase cyrillic t" instead of "cj" on RedHat systems, and none of them was willing to report it. Because of this, it's impossible to type Serbian language in default RedHat installations (and most reporters have done what I don't want them to do -- they've used Microsoft's fonts, instead of free fonts) Around 18 months ago I've submitted corrected glyphs to Valek, but he never found time to incorporate them. I'm cleaning them up a bit, and I will submit them later if you care to include them in those fonts included with RedHat (I already have done all the glyphs for those 30+ fonts). Another resolution might be to remove these unfinished glyphs even if you're not willing to accept my corrections, because that would enable fontconfig to find another font with probably correct glyphs (even -misc-fixed-*-iso10646-1 contains correct glyphs, as well as cyrillic bitmap fonts in standard XFree86). Packaged ghostcript 8.11 fonts also contain this bug, because they're just repackaged URW-CYR fonts. If this component ("urw-fonts") corresponds only to old URW fonts which were shipped with Ghostscript, please reassign to correct component.
