$starce /usr/bin/mkfontscale -a fontpath
This turns out to be a bug in libfontenc, which mkfontscale links to. It is built with a hard coded path to the encodings files supplied by its Makefile.am. Fixed by applying libfontenc-0.99.2-use-datadir-for-encodings.patch which patches Makefile.am, and calling automake. This package will require xorg-x11-filesystem also to be installed first, or at the same time. Created attachment 121380 [details]

What was odd, is that it looks for some files *.enc, and other files as *.enc.gz When you look in the system encodings directories however, *all* of the files are "*.enc.gz". The list of encodings files come from the encodings.dir files present in each of the encodings directories. If you look at the contents of these encodings.dir files, you find entries that seem to be randomly put there, some *.enc, some *.enc.gz, and various of the files simply do not exist at all in the actual system. I attempted to work around the problem by recreating the encodings.dir files with mkfontscale in each encodings directory, by doing: cp encodings.dir encodings.dir.ORIG mkfontscale -e . -n I repeated this in the 'large' dir as well. This created new encodings.dir files in each of the encodings directories, and when mkfontscale was ran on the test font directory I created earlier, the second strace did not show any errors. So, in a pinch, I can work around this bug by manually invoking "mkfontscale -e $encodingdir -n" in each encoding dir in the fonts rpm, which will recreate the proper encodings.dir files in our rpm packaging at least. I'm curious though why this is happening in the first place, and am going to dig into it further. Either the encodings.dir files are getting generated incorrectly in the encodings.*.tar.bz2 build in xorg-x11-fonts, or they're getting generated and discarded, or there are pregenerated bogus encodings.dir files stored in the CVS repo that just get copied into the output dir when building the package. That's my current theory anyway. Will report back shortly with my results. Ok, I've changed the file manifest to mark the encodings.dir files in the encodings directories as %ghost files, so that the rpm package build time encodings.dir files are not used. Then I updated the base-fonts rpm %post script to create the encodings.dir files via mkfontscale at package _install_ time. This is more consistent with how fonts.dir files are created, so I'm hoping it works out to be a better solution. I have tested the updated xorg-x11-fonts-base package locally by installing and removing it, and it now installs encodings.dir files that properly match the *.enc.gz files which are provided by the encodings tarball. There are a few things I'm not 100% certain of however. I'm not sure if these files end up getting updated at runtime when mkfont* get invoked during font rpm package installation/removal or not. So, while this fix fixes the problem reported here, and does so in a manner consistent with our other font file installation and whatnot, it could possibly uncover additional bugs which were dormant. There is a possibility that this could potentially regress OS installation or upgrades, if mkfontscale and mkfontdir act differently now than they have prior to this change. However it is equally possible that this change may also fix other bugs which were caused due to the encodings.dir files being built incorrectly by the X.Org Makefiles. Since there is some potential risk to including this fix in FC5 at this point, I am building test packages outside of rawhide, and will make them available on people.redhat.com for people to test. I will then post to the fedora lists to gather testers to bang on the package(s) and see what if anything breaks. Stay tuned... Created attachment 125179 [details]
diff of spec file changes for peer review
I posted rpm packages for people to test to Fedora devel and test list, and got several people to confirm things work for them with the new packages. Since they work for me too, I'm moving the new xorg-x11-fonts-7.0-2 packages to Fedora Devel today. Fixed in rawhide xorg-x11-fonts-7.0-2 Created attachment 125392 [details]

mkfontscale doesn't find encoding in large directory.
This bug started out as a libfontenc bug, and each fix has uncovered a separate bug/problem. It is prefered to have new bug reports opened for each new bug that pops up so it is easier to track each issue without having to sort through old bug comments that are no longer relevent. I have examined and verified that the encodings.dir files created during package installation time, properly represent the encodings files in the given directory, for both the large and non-large encodings. |
