Description

I understood this to be a problem with the urw-fonts package. cf. bug #140584. Indeed, with Fedora Core 4 test 2 the blue brackets encompass the entire line of text on each line. I'm glad to hear the bug is absent from Fedora Core 4. 1) As far as I know, ghostscript uses its own fonts, it doesn't use the urw fonts, so I don't think this can be a problem with urw-fonts. The fact that upgrading to ghostscript-fonts-8.11 cures the problem also implies that urw-fonts is not the culprit. 2) While we are talking about urw-fonts.... The package urw-fonts-2.2-6, which comes with Fedora Core 3, has the description ---- This package contains free, high-quality versions of the 35 standard PostScript(TM) fonts, donated under the GPL by URW++ Design and Development GmbH. The fonts.dir file font names match the original Adobe names of the fonts (Times, Helvetica, etc.). ---- However, when I actually look in the file /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.dir I find that font names are the non-Adobe names gothic, urw-nimbus, etc. Nothing like "Times" or Helvetica" appears in that file. As a result, applications like xfig that expect the Adobe names fail to find these fonts. Is this a bug? Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Fedora Core 3 is not maintained anymore. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version.
