Workaround until FC3 includes xorg bug 1560 Using existing RPM's as suggested by TJ on iSeries Access forum Extract fonts from 100 and 75 dpi rpm's, for example Free86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-30mdk.i586.rpm and Free86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-30mdk.i586.rpm Extract lut*ISO*pcf.gz files to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local run fc-cache on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local run mkfontdir on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local (then you should see fonts.cache-1 file and fonts.dir). Add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local to xorg.conf (or xft server) Restart the x server. Or compile fonts from xorg cvs source http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/CvsPage To build and create a tar for the missing files 1. Create a working directory (Ex $ mkdir xsrc) 2. $ cd xsrc 3. download CVS src $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs.org:/cvs/xorg login CVS password: <hit return> $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs.org:/cvs/xorg co -P xc 4. $ cd xsrc/xc/fonts 5. $ xmkmf 6. $ make Makefiles 7. $ cd bdf/100dpi 8. $ make 9. $ cd ../75dpi 10 $ make 11 $ cd .. 12 $ tar cvfz lucidatype.fonts.tgz *dpi/lut*pcf.gz To install 1. After copying file to Fedora 3 system su to root and untar file $ su -l give ROOTS password $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts $ tar xvfz <path to tar>/lucidatype.fonts.tgz 2. Still as root cd to 75 and 100 dpi directories and redo mkfontdir $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi $ mkfontdir $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi $ mkfontdir 3. Restart X lib/X11/fonts/100dpi $ mkfontdir 3. Restart X When will this bug be fixed ? Our clients running FC3 are all experiencing this problem. Fedora Core is intended for hobbiest/enthusiast usage, and we provide updates to Fedora Core only for security issues and in some cases we may provide updates as time permits for other bug related issues. All bug fixes and development occurs in rawhide over time, and will be present in the next Fedora Core OS release (FC4). Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3 is recommended and supported OS product for corporate desktop/client deployments. Once we have investigated this issue, we will provide comments here to update the status, however we generally do not provide timelines for fixes for Fedora Core. Currently freedesktop.org is unavailable due to a security breach. *** Bug 139121 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Freedesktop.org is alive again, and I've reviewed the upstream bug report, and integrated the patch into rawhide for future builds. This fix will also be present in the next Fedora Core 3 erratum release, which should be soon. It will also be present in our RHEL 4 builds within a few days. Thanks. Setting status to "RAWHIDE" this bug also seems to impact rhel4. the lucidatypewriter iso8859-1 fonts aren't available there either. not only do i like that font, but it keeps some applications from running. aha! the fonts-xorg package wasn't rebuilt after the xorg-x11 package was patched and rebuilt. i just checked the build dates of the .src.rpms and get: Name : xorg-x11 Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 6.8.1 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 23.EL Build Date: Thu Dec 9 13:10:08 2004 Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: dolly.build.redhat.com Name : fonts-xorg Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 6.8.1 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1 Build Date: Tue Oct 19 12:23:04 2004 Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: thor.perf.redhat.com i am trying to rebuild the font rpm, but it is somewhat magic so i hope that redhat gets this fixed soon... The fonts-xorg package was updated with the new fonts in CVS for sure, and I was fairly sure it made it into rawhide also, but I will have to doublecheck now, as it went missing from RHEL4 also. Reopening for now, until I confirm and/or fix. Thanks for the tip off. It is fixed in rawhide already, and will be in the RHEL4 erratum too. Only FC3 doesn't have it now. I suppose we can release an update for FC3 sometime in the next few weeks too. I'll leave this open until then. Thanks again. will this be pushed out for rhel4 right away? or will it wait for u1? (In reply to comment #10) > will this be pushed out for rhel4 right away? or will it wait for u1? It's in RHEL4 U1. In general, non-critical issues of this nature are fixed in RHEL releases in synchronous quarterly updates, and only critical security issues and other major critical issues get asynchronous errata out of band. HTH Fixed in fonts-xorg-6.8.2-0.FC3.1 for FC3, which is built and will be made available as an FC3 update hopefully sometime today. It's released now. |
